RISK

Why formatGoogleSlidesParagraph is rated Medium

This tool modifies presentation content (paragraph formatting) but the changes are fully reversible through normal Google Slides undo/editing functionality. It does not create/delete slides, remove permissions, or execute arbitrary operations. The blast radius of misuse is limited to formatting changes within a single document, making it a Write-category risk with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool applies paragraph formatting to text in Google Slides, modifying document structure and presentation attributes reversibly. The verb 'Apply' combined with 'formatting' indicates a modification operation that can be edited or undone by users.
