RISK

Why jm_set_hostfile is rated Medium

This tool modifies JarvisManager's hostfile configuration, affecting which hosts are targeted for subsequent operations. While not destructive (reversible by setting a different path), and not immediately executing arbitrary code, it is a write operation that changes system configuration state.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Set hostfile path for JarvisManager.' The verb 'set' indicates modification of a configuration or state (hostfile path), which constitutes a write operation.
