RISK

Why ghl_update_shipping_zone is rated Medium

The tool modifies shipping zone configuration (name and/or countries list) but does not delete or irreversibly destroy the zone itself. This is a reversible change to business settings. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt shipping operations and affect customer orders, but the impact is limited to a specific zone configuration and can be undone by updating again.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update a shipping zone's name or countries' - indicates modification of existing configuration data.
