## Why appstore_promote is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies a distribution configuration by adding a TestFlight build to a beta group. While it affects app delivery workflows, it does not irreversibly delete data (thus not Destructive), does not move money (thus not Financial), and does not execute arbitrary code (thus not Execute).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'add it to a beta group by group name', which modifies the state of TestFlight beta distribution. The verb 'add' and the action of assigning a build to a distribution channel constitute data modification."

## Use case

AI agents use appstore_promote to create or update resources in Claude Mobile, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude Mobile environment.
