## Why dynadot_lock_domain is rated Medium

Locking a domain is a reversible write operation that modifies domain configuration by preventing unauthorized transfers. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, move money, or cause irreversible harm. However, it has moderate severity because an inadvertent lock could temporarily prevent legitimate domain operations or transfers until unlocked.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dynadot_lock_domain' and description 'Lock a domain (prevent transfers)' indicate a modification of domain settings/state."

## Use case

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