Why set_default_language is rated Medium
This tool modifies site settings (the default language) in a reversible manner. It changes configuration state but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or cause financial transactions. The blast radius is medium because changing the default language could affect customer experience, SEO, and site behavior, but the action is easily reversible by setting a different default language.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_default_language' and description 'Change which enabled language is the site default' indicate modification of site configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_default_language safely

set_default_language stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every set_default_language call is checked against it from then on.
