## Why send_private_msg is rated Medium

This tool creates a new message, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute code, delete data, or move funds. The severity is medium because sending unsolicited or misleading private messages could be used for phishing, harassment, or social engineering attacks, especially given the bot's broad access to QQ communications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'send_private_msg' and description 'Send private message' indicate creation of a new message communication artifact."

## Use case

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