RISK

Why theprotocol_updateNotificationPrefs is rated Medium

The tool performs a reversible modification operation (upsert) on notification preference data. While the description includes the label 'DESTRUCTIVE' in caps, the actual functionality described is an upsert with a reset-to-default option, which is reversible and recoverable. Upsert operations that modify user preferences are Write operations, not Destructive.
