## Why add_journal_entry is rated Medium

This tool creates or writes new journal entry data to the user's local system with auto-extracted metadata (mood, energy). The operation is reversible (entries can be edited or deleted later). It has no destructive, execute, or financial characteristics. The low severity reflects that misuse would only create unwanted journal entries in a personal knowledge base, with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'add' and description states 'Store a journal entry', indicating creation of new data with reversible effects."

## Use case
