## Why zernio_import_whatsapp_contacts is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (contact records) in a reversible manner. Users can later delete or modify imported contacts. While bulk operations carry moderate risk if misused (e.g., importing spam contacts or contacts without consent), the action itself is not destructive (data can be removed), not financial, and not code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'import' and description states 'Import multiple WhatsApp contacts at once into a connected WhatsApp Business account' — this creates/adds new contact records in bulk."

## Use case

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