## Why set_pr_description is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies pull request descriptions, which is a reversible data change (Write category). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial). Severity is medium because modifying PR descriptions could mislead reviewers about code changes, but the effect is limited to metadata and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_pr_description' indicates it modifies pull request metadata. The server description confirms it enables interaction with Azure DevOps pull requests including creation and modification capabilities."

## Use case
