## Why local_ydb_permissions is rated Medium

This tool can modify YDB scheme permissions (grant, revoke, set, clear, chown, inheritance), which are Write-level operations affecting access control. While the default 'list' action is read-only and changes require confirm=true, the tool's capability includes modifying security permissions — a high-severity action since misuse could grant unauthorized access or revoke legitimate access to database resources.

From the tool's own definition: "grant, revoke, set, clear, chown, and inheritance changes return a plan unless confirm=true"

## Use case

AI agents use local_ydb_permissions to create or update resources in Local Ydb, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Local Ydb environment.
