## Why proxmox_download_os_template is rated Medium

Downloading an OS template retrieves a file and writes/stores it to the Proxmox storage. This is a Write operation as it creates new data (the template file) on the system. It is reversible (the template can be deleted), so it doesn't qualify as Destructive. Misuse could consume significant storage or introduce untrusted templates, warranting medium severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Download OS template from official sources"
