RISK

Why protect_merge_known_faces is rated Medium

This tool appears to modify face recognition data used by the access control system. While not irreversible (Write rather than Destructive) and not executing arbitrary code (Execute), merging facial biometric records could alter how the system recognizes and grants access to individuals.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'protect_merge_known_faces' suggests modifying or consolidating face recognition data. The description is empty, making definitive classification difficult.
