## Why dynadot_set_whois is rated Medium

This tool modifies domain WHOIS records by setting registrant, admin, tech, and billing contacts. While reversible (contacts can be changed again), it constitutes a Write operation that alters sensitive domain registration data. The high severity reflects that unauthorized modification of WHOIS contacts could redirect domain control, enable account takeover, or facilitate fraud.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dynadot_set_whois' and description 'Set the WHOIS contacts (registrant/admin/tech/billing) for a domain' indicate modification of domain contact information."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation
