## Why discord_add_reaction is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a reaction) in a reversible manner. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, move money, or have destructive consequences. Adding a reaction is a standard write operation that can be undone by removing the reaction. Severity is low because reactions are cosmetic metadata with minimal impact on the Discord server state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'discord_add_reaction' and description 'Add a reaction to a message' indicate a modification action that creates a reaction (emoji) on an existing message."

## Use case

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