## Why googleAds_apply_recommendation is rated Medium

The 'apply' verb indicates an action that modifies or commits changes to Google Ads, which is a write operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'googleAds_apply_recommendation' and description 'Apply a Google Ads optimization recommendation' indicate a modification action that changes Google Ads campaign settings or configurations."
