RISK

Why ghl_create_association is rated Medium

This tool creates new relational data between CRM entities. While it modifies the data model by adding associations, it is reversible (associations can be deleted or modified later) and does not execute arbitrary operations, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ghl_create_association' and description 'Create a new association that defines relationship types between entities' explicitly indicates creation of new data structures (associations/relationships) without deletion or irreversible modification.
