## Why update_table_column_style is rated Medium

The tool updates styling metadata (colors, fonts, alignment, etc.) of table columns without deleting or destructively altering content. This constitutes a Write operation since it creates or modifies data reversibly. Severity is medium because misuse could deface documents or make them unreadable, but the changes are undoable and don't cause data loss or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Update style of a table column', which modifies formatting properties of document content. This is a reversible modification operation on Google Docs data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_table_column_style 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.
