## Why create_board is rated Medium

The tool creates a new Trello board, which is a write operation that generates new data. It is reversible (the board can be deleted later), does not destroy data, involves no financial transaction, and does not execute arbitrary code or commands. Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_board' and description states 'Create a new Trello board.' This is a create operation that generates new data without irreversible deletion or financial impact."

## Use case

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