## Why update_contact_task is rated Medium

This tool modifies task records associated with contacts within the CRM system. Updates are reversible (can be corrected or undone by subsequent updates), distinguishing this from Destructive operations. The blast radius is medium: improper updates could affect business operations and task tracking, but changes are not permanent and can be corrected. No code execution, deletion, or financial impact is indicated.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_contact_task' and description 'Update a task for a contact' indicate modification of existing task data. The verb 'update' is characteristic of Write operations that create or modify data reversibly."
