## Why hosting_changeDatabasePasswordV1 is rated Medium

This tool modifies credentials for a database user, which is a reversible write operation (the password can be changed again). However, it carries high severity because changing a database password without updating dependent configurations will break website functionality, and it could also be misused to lock out legitimate access to databases.

From the tool's own definition: "Changes the password for the specified database user"

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (password)
