RISK

Why asc_add_beta_group_builds is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data by assigning builds to beta groups, which affects TestFlight beta distribution. While not irreversible (builds can likely be removed), it enables distribution of application builds to testers, potentially impacting users and creating obligations.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it assigns builds to a beta group via POST request, creating a relationship between builds and beta groups. This is a write operation that modifies data (adds builds to beta group distributions).
