Why create_report_schedule is rated Medium
This tool creates a new report schedule, which is a reversible write operation—schedules can be modified or deleted later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The severity is medium because misconfigured report schedules could affect business reporting and analytics pipelines, but the impact is limited to scheduling configuration, not live campaigns or financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_report_schedule' and description 'Create a new report schedule' indicate creation of a new configuration object.
