Why set_project_name is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies project metadata reversibly. While renaming a project is a modification, it does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, move financial resources, or trigger irreversible consequences. The blast radius is limited to project naming—an AI agent could create confusing project names but could rename them back. This is properly categorized as Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition The tool's description states it renames the current project, which modifies the project metadata. The tool name 'set_project_name' and description 'Rename the current project' directly indicate a write operation that changes project state.
