Why add_dashboard_widget is rated Medium

This tool creates a new dashboard widget configuration. It is a Write operation because it creates/modifies dashboard layout state in a reversible manner (widgets can be removed or reconfigured). There is no destructive data loss, code execution, or financial impact. Low severity because misuse affects only UI personalization with minimal blast radius.
