## Why ghl_update_association is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing association labels within the GoHighLevel CRM system. It is a Write operation because it changes data (labels) reversibly—the update can be undone by changing the labels again. It is not Destructive since it does not delete associations or data irreversibly.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ghl_update_association' and description 'Update the labels of an existing association' indicate modification of data. The phrase 'Update the labels' confirms this is a reversible write operation rather than deletion or read-only access."

## Use case
