## Why add_slide_notes is rated Medium

Adding notes to slides creates or modifies data reversibly—notes can be edited or deleted. This is a Write operation rather than Read (retrieves data), Execute (runs arbitrary code), Destructive (irreversible deletion), or Financial. Severity is medium because unintended note additions could clutter presentations but are easily corrected.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_slide_notes' and server context (Google Slides/Docs manipulation via MCP) indicate the tool modifies presentation content by adding notes to slides."

## Use case

AI agents use add_slide_notes to create or update resources in Mcp Google Docs, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Google Docs environment.
