Why static_artifacts_publish_payload is rated High
The tool explicitly 'runs' an operation from an application catalog, indicating execution of an operation. 'Publish-payload' suggests pushing/deploying static artifacts, which is an external triggering action. While it could be classified as Write (publishing content), the 'run through operation catalog' language and the deployment nature of publishing artifacts makes Execute more appropriate.
