Why resolveSheetsComment is rated Medium
Resolving a comment changes metadata/state in Google Sheets, classifying it as a Write operation rather than Read (it mutates data) or Destructive (the change is reversible and non-destructive). Severity is medium because misuse could suppress collaborative feedback or audit trails by hiding comments, but the impact is limited to comment visibility rather than data loss or financial consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Marks a comment as resolved in a Google Spreadsheet', which modifies the state of a comment object. This is a reversible change—comments can be unresolvedby undoing or marking as unresolved again.
