Why send_emergency_broadcast is rated Medium

This tool creates and sends notifications to users or groups, which is a reversible write operation (messages can be deleted or retracted in most systems). While the impact could be broad—sending false emergency alerts to many users—it doesn't meet the threshold for Destructive (no data deletion), Execute (no code execution or external command triggering), or Financial (no money movement).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'send_emergency_broadcast' and description labels it as '[Write] Send emergency broadcast notification to users or groups'
