RISK

Why add_transition_to_clip is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies video project data (adding a transition effect) in a reversible manner. Transitions can be removed or changed, so it is not Destructive. The severity is low because misuse would only affect visual effects in a draft project with no data loss or system compromise. There is no evidence of code execution, financial transactions, or irreversible operations.

From the tool's definition The tool 'adds a transition' to a clip, which is a reversible modification to video editing project state. The description confirms it creates/modifies project content ('Premiere accepted the command') without permanent deletion or financial impact.
