WHAT IT DOES

What clickup_add_guest_to_folder does on Clickup

RISK

Why clickup_add_guest_to_folder is rated Medium

Adding a guest to a folder is a write operation that modifies access controls and folder membership. It is reversible (guests can be removed), so it does not qualify as Destructive. The medium severity reflects that unintended guest additions could grant unwanted access to folder contents, but the blast radius is limited to folder-level permissions rather than data deletion or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'clickup_add_guest_to_folder' and context indicate it adds/invites a guest to a folder, a reversible modification operation. Description is empty, reducing confidence.
