## Why monday-create-item is rated Medium

Creating items is a reversible write operation that adds data to a project management system. It is not destructive (items can be deleted), not execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), and not financial. Severity is medium because accidental item creation could spam a board or create unwanted clutter, but the impact is limited to a single board's data model and is easily undone via deletion.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'monday-create-item' and description states 'Create a new item or sub-item in a board' — this is a data creation operation that adds new entities to a Monday.com board."

Risk signals: Creates visible items in project boards
