## Why GOOGLESUPER_CREATE_SPREADSHEET_COLUMN is rated Medium

This tool creates/modifies data in Google Sheets by adding a new column. It is reversible (columns can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because unauthorized column creation could corrupt spreadsheet structures and workflows, but the impact is limited to a single spreadsheet and the action is undoable. High confidence due to clear description of the tool's function.

From the tool's own definition: "Creates a new column in a Google Spreadsheet"
