Why photos_add_collaborators is rated Medium
This tool modifies the access control and permissions of a shared photo album by adding collaborators. While it doesn't directly create, modify, or delete the photo data itself, it does create new user-group-resource relationships and grants permissions that persist. This is a reversible write operation (collaborators can be removed).
