## Why update_email_template is rated Medium

This tool falls under Write category because it creates or modifies data reversibly. Updating an email template is a non-destructive operation that can be undone or reverted. The severity is medium because misuse could affect marketing communications and customer messaging at scale, but templates themselves are not irreplaceable or catastrophically damaging compared to financial or destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update an existing email template in GoHighLevel' - this modifies data reversibly without deletion."
