## Why create_lead is rated Medium

This tool creates a new business lead record in a CRM-like system. It is a Write operation because it creates new data (a lead) that can be modified or deleted later. Severity is medium because misuse could result in spam leads, unwanted contacts in the pipeline, or inflated lead counts, but these effects are reversible and don't cause data loss or financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: 'create_lead'; description specifies 'Manually add a lead' which creates a new record ('The lead enters the pipeline'). This is a reversible data creation operation."

## Use case

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