Why gt_beads_create is rated Medium

It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), transfer funds (Financial), or merely read data (Read). The ability to set priority and labels means the AI could create many tasks or misconfigure them, but the operation itself is reversible through standard update/delete mechanisms.
