Why update_invoice_template is rated Medium
The tool updates invoice templates, which is a reversible modification operation (templates can be edited again or restored). While invoice templates are business-critical financial documents, the tool itself does not move money, commit financial obligations, or execute destructive actions—it simply modifies template configuration.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update an existing invoice template' - this modifies an existing resource reversibly.
