## Why GOOGLESUPER_PATCH_TASK is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner (Write category). It patches an existing task with new values, which can be undone by patching again with different values. The severity is medium because unauthorized modifications to tasks could disrupt a user's productivity and task management, affecting calendars, reminders, and workflows, but the impact is limited to a single task list and is reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Partially updates an existing task' by 'modifying only the provided attributes' such as `title`, `notes`, `due` date, and `status`."

Risk signals: High parameter count (11 properties)
