Why create_endpoint is rated Medium

This tool creates a new endpoint resource within a line, which is a reversible modification operation. It does not delete, destroy, or execute arbitrary operations—it simply adds a new configuration object. The blast radius is moderate: a compromised agent could create numerous unwanted endpoints, potentially causing operational confusion or resource exhaustion, but the action can be undone by deletion or archiving.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_endpoint' and description 'Create an endpoint under a line' explicitly perform data creation. Description states 'Requires edit access,' confirming write capability. The tool creates a new endpoint resource that persists in the system.
