Why gmail_reply_to_message is rated Medium
This tool sends an email reply, which is a reversible write operation (the reply is sent, but it can be considered a message creation). It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. However, misuse could cause reputational or operational harm by sending unintended replies to email threads on behalf of the user.
