## Why bulk_create_product_sources is rated Medium

This tool creates product sources in bulk, which is a write operation that adds or establishes new data records. It is reversible (product sources can be archived or deleted), so it does not rise to Destructive. The bulk nature and advertiser-facing scope suggest medium severity — misuse could corrupt or pollute the publisher's product catalog, but the impact is limited to product sources and can be remediated.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'bulk_create' and description states 'Bulk create product sources' — unambiguous creation operation that modifies publisher data."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents use bulk_create_product_sources to create or update resources in AdButler, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AdButler environment.
