## Why setHedgingMode is rated Medium

This tool changes account-level trading mode settings, which is a configuration modification. It is reversible (can be toggled back), so it does not qualify as Destructive. It does not execute arbitrary code or transactions, so it is not Execute. It does not directly move funds, so it is not Financial. It is Write because it modifies account state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description indicates it 'Enable or disable PM include spot hedging mode' — this modifies account configuration settings on the Bybit exchange. The action is reversible (can toggle hedging mode on and off)."

## Use case
