WHAT IT DOES

What mail_create_draft does on Apple Apps MCP

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

RISK

Why mail_create_draft is rated Medium

This tool creates a new email draft in Apple Mail. Drafts are reversible (can be deleted or discarded without sending), so it falls under Write rather than Execute or Destructive. However, it poses medium severity because an AI agent could be tricked into drafting emails with harmful content, phishing attempts, or sensitive information that could then be sent by the user.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'mail_create_draft' and description states 'Create a visible Apple Mail draft.' The verb 'create' and the action of creating an email draft indicate reversible data modification.
