Why snow_track_asset_lifecycle is rated Medium
The tool manages state transitions and records across an asset's complete lifecycle. While 'track' suggests monitoring, in a ServiceNow context this implies writing/updating asset records at various lifecycle stages. This creates and modifies data reversibly (assets can be re-tracked or records corrected), but does not permanently delete.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'snow_track_asset_lifecycle' combined with description 'Track complete asset lifecycle from procurement to disposal' indicates creation and modification of asset records across multiple states (procurement, usage, disposal).
