## Why edit_http_function is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing HTTP function files on the storefront server. While it is reversible in principle (the file can be re-edited), it changes executable server-side code, which carries a high blast radius — a malicious or incorrect edit could break storefront functionality, introduce security vulnerabilities, or expose customer data.

From the tool's own definition: "'Edit the HTTP function file by function name — best for targeted changes (fix a bug, rename, add one function)'"
