RISK

Why hippo_document_index_file is rated Medium

This tool ingests and indexes an entire file into the memory engine, creating new searchable data structures. This is a Write operation — it modifies the system's stored state by adding indexed content — but is reversible (the index can be deleted). It does not execute code or delete data.
