RISK

Why create_design_notes is rated Medium

This tool creates new records (design notes) in the ComplianceCow platform, which is a reversible modification (Write). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move funds. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but context from sibling tools and server purpose indicates data modification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_design_notes' and sibling tools like 'add_cel_expression_to_metrics', 'add_check_to_asset', 'add_citation_to_asset_control' all follow an 'add/create/attach' pattern that modifies compliance data.
