Why connect_companion_surface is rated Medium

This tool creates and configures multiple nodes/operators within a TouchDesigner project (OSC In CHOP, Select CHOPs, Null CHOPs, OSC Out CHOP, mapping table) and binds expressions. It is a Write operation — it creates and modifies project data reversibly. There is no code execution, destructive deletion, or financial operation involved.
