RISK

Why sf_create_user_role_hierarchy is rated Medium

While reversible (roles can be deleted), the creation of roles with improper hierarchy assignments could grant unintended visibility to sensitive records or disrupt organizational access controls.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Creates a new UserRole in the Salesforce Role Hierarchy' and accepts parameters like roleName, label, parentRoleName, and description.
