Why agenticow_promote is rated Medium

Branch merging is a Write operation: it creates or modifies data (code history, branch state) reversibly. While merges can theoretically be undone via revert, they are not inherently destructive like deletions. The operation's scope (affecting one or more files/commits) and the potential for merge conflicts or unintended side effects in a development workflow justify medium severity rather than low.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'agenticow_promote' with description 'merge a branch' indicates a version control operation that modifies code repositories by integrating branch changes into a target branch.
