## Why twitter_follow_user is rated Medium

Following a user on Twitter is a Write operation: it creates a new social relationship (follow) that is reversible by unfollowing. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could cause reputational harm (e.g., an agent following unintended accounts at scale), hence medium severity.

From the tool's own definition: "'Follow a user' — creates a follow relationship on Twitter, which is a reversible social action (can be unfollowed)."

## Use case

AI agents use twitter_follow_user to create or update resources in ScopeGate, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScopeGate environment.
