RISK

Why update_contact_note is rated Medium

This tool modifies contact-associated data (notes) but does not delete or irreversibly destroy information. The change is reversible—a note can be updated again or restored. It has moderate blast radius if misused by an AI agent (could corrupt contact records with false information affecting business operations), but lacks the destructiveness of deletion or the financial impact of payment operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_contact_note' and description 'Update a note for a contact' clearly indicate modification of existing data. The verb 'update' is characteristic of reversible write operations.
