Why google_sheets_values_update is rated Medium
This tool modifies spreadsheet data in Google Sheets. While the description is empty (reducing confidence slightly), the name clearly indicates a Write operation—updating cell values or ranges. The severity is high because Google Sheets often contain business-critical data (financial records, customer information, etc.), and an AI agent with unconstrained write access could corrupt or alter important datasets.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'google_sheets_values_update' contains 'update', which modifies data in Google Sheets. The verb 'update' indicates reversible data modification rather than deletion or code execution.
