RISK

Why unity_lighting_create is rated Medium

This tool creates a new light object in a Unity scene, which is a reversible write operation. It adds a new asset/component to the scene but does not delete or overwrite existing data, and has no financial or destructive implications. Misuse could clutter or alter scene lighting but is easily undone.
