## Why asc_patch_beta_app_localization is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly without deleting or destroying it. Updating beta app localization metadata (such as descriptions, keywords, or other localization attributes) changes application store presentation but does not execute code, move funds, or irreversibly destroy data. The selective update pattern (encodeIfPresent) and refusal to process empty patches indicate controlled modification.

From the tool's own definition: "'Update one or more attrs on an existing BetaAppLocalization' — the tool modifies existing data through a PATCH operation. The description explicitly states it updates attributes on an existing resource."
