RISK

Why GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_SHORTCUT_TO_FILE is rated Medium

This tool creates a new shortcut object in Google Drive, which is a reversible modification of the Drive structure. It does not delete, execute code, move funds, or trigger external operations—it simply adds metadata linking to existing files. The blast radius is minimal: shortcuts can be deleted if created in error.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'create[s] a shortcut to a file or folder in Google Drive' and 'link[s] to an existing Drive item from another location'. The verb 'create' and action of adding a new shortcut object constitutes data creation.
