RISK

Why add_contact_followers is rated Medium

This tool modifies contact metadata by adding followers to a contact record. This is a reversible data modification (followers can be removed), so it falls under Write rather than Execute or Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could spam contacts or create unwanted associations, but the blast radius is limited to relationship metadata rather than destructive data loss or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_contact_followers' with description 'Add followers to a contact'. The verb 'add' indicates a reversible modification operation that creates or modifies data relationships (followers), consistent with Write category operations like 'create'…
