WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why mark_notification_read is rated Medium

This tool modifies data (the notification's read status) in a reversible manner—the notification can be marked unread again or the action can be undone. It does not delete, execute external operations, move money, or have destructive effects. This is a straightforward Write operation with minimal blast radius, as it only affects notification metadata for the user performing the action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mark_notification_read' and description 'Mark a notification as read' indicate a state modification operation that changes the read/unread status of a notification record.
