RISK

Why ghl_create_shipping_rate is rated Medium

This tool creates new shipping rate records, which is a reversible data modification operation. It does not delete, destroy, or execute arbitrary code. While it affects e-commerce configuration, the severity is low because shipping rate misuse has limited blast radius compared to financial transactions or customer data deletion. The operation is reversible (rates can be updated or deleted afterward).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_shipping_rate' indicates creation of a new resource (shipping rate). Description states 'Create a new shipping rate for a shipping zone', which is a reversible write operation that adds configuration data.
