## Why link_task_to_commit is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies relational data (task-to-commit associations) in a reversible manner. The operation is described as creating an 'audit trail' and performing upserts (update or insert), which are Write operations. While it involves version control metadata, it does not destructively delete data, execute code, move funds, or trigger external processes.

From the tool's own definition: "Link a git commit SHA to a task. Creates an audit trail: task → commits. Upserts on same task+sha."

## Use case

AI agents use link_task_to_commit to create or update resources in Todos, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Todos environment.
