RISK

Why contract-testing_admin_add_role_to_user is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies user access permissions by adding a role, which is a reversible write operation. It affects access control and could grant elevated privileges, warranting high severity due to potential unauthorized privilege escalation. However, it's not destructive (roles can be removed) and not financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'add_role_to_user' and description states 'Add a single role to a user (admin)'. This modifies user permissions/roles in the system.
