## Why apply_bullet_list is rated Medium

This tool modifies document content by changing paragraph formatting to bullet lists. This is a reversible write operation—the formatting can be changed back to normal text or other list styles. It does not delete, execute external code, move money, or perform destructive operations. The severity is low because formatting changes have minimal blast radius and are easily undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool applies bullet list formatting to paragraphs, which modifies document structure and appearance without deleting content. The description states it 'Apply[s] bullet list formatting' indicating a formatting change operation."

## Use case

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