## Why lib_split_pin_functions is rated Medium

The tool operates on library components (pins and their functions) in Altium Designer. 'Split' implies reorganizing or modifying pin function assignments, which constitutes data modification. This is Write rather than Execute because it modifies design library data structures rather than executing arbitrary scripts or triggering external operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'lib_split_pin_functions' suggests modification of library pin definitions. The 'split' verb combined with 'pin_functions' in an Altium Designer library context indicates structural changes to pin metadata or organization, which are reversible data…"

## Use case

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