RISK

Why photos_remove_from_album is rated Medium

The tool modifies the album association (removes files from an album) but explicitly does not delete the underlying files. This is a reversible write operation — files can be re-added to the album — making it Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disorganize photo albums but causes no permanent data loss.

From the tool's definition 'Remove one or more files from a photo album' and 'This only removes the album association — the files are not deleted.'
