RISK

Why send_emergency_broadcast is rated Medium

This is a Write operation that creates and sends emergency broadcast notifications. While reversible in principle (messages could be deleted/retracted), it has high severity due to blast radius: an incorrect emergency broadcast sent to many users could cause panic, disrupt operations, or trigger unnecessary emergency responses.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'send_emergency_broadcast' combined with description '[Write] Send emergency broadcast notification to users or groups' indicates creation and transmission of messages/notifications.
