## Why google_sheets_add_protected_range is rated Medium

Adding a protected range modifies sheet configuration by creating new access restrictions, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial). Severity is medium because misconfigured protections could lock legitimate users out of editing, but the effect is reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'google_sheets_add_protected_range' indicates creation/modification of protection settings on a Google Sheets range. The 'add' verb suggests write/create semantics. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence."

## Use case

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