RISK

Why place_map_photos is rated Medium

This tool modifies file metadata (GPS coordinates/EXIF data) on photos, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not delete files (Destructive), execute code (Execute), move money (Financial), or merely read data (Read). Severity is medium because metadata modification on user files could enable privacy violations or unintended location disclosure if misused, but the modification is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Set GPS coordinates on one or more photos', which modifies metadata on existing files. The verb 'Set' indicates data modification rather than retrieval or deletion.

place_map_photos Rate-limited

place_map_photos stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
