RISK

Why mark_recipe_last_made is rated Medium

This tool modifies data (a recipe's last_made timestamp) but does so in a non-destructive, reversible manner. It is a simple metadata update with no side effects beyond recording when a recipe was last prepared. The operation can be undone or overwritten by marking the recipe again or updating the timestamp manually.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'updates last made timestamp' — a metadata modification operation that changes a record's state reversibly.
