## Why GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK is rated Medium

GOOGLESUPER_INSERT_TASK creates new tasks in Google Tasks, which is a reversible write operation. Tasks can be created, read, and deleted without permanent consequences or financial impact. The tool does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger destructive operations. A misdirected insertion of tasks has minimal blast radius—tasks can be manually or programmatically removed.

From the tool's own definition: "Creates a new task in a given tasklist_id, optionally as a subtask of an existing task_parent or positioned after an existing task_previous sibling."

Risk signals: High parameter count (12 properties)
