Why configure_pandadoc_api_key is rated Medium
Configuring an API key is a write operation that creates or modifies sensitive system configuration. While not destructive (reversible) or financial, it could enable unauthorized access to PandaDoc services if misused. Severity is high because API key compromise could lead to resource abuse or data exfiltration, but not critical since the actual impact depends on downstream PandaDoc permissions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Configure the PandaDoc API key' — this stores/configures credentials in a system, which modifies state. The verb 'configure' indicates a write operation that persists API key settings.
