WHAT IT DOES

What photos_add_to_album does on AIquila — Nextcloud MCP Server

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

RISK

Why photos_add_to_album is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (album associations) rather than retrieving it (Read), executing arbitrary operations (Execute), permanently deleting data (Destructive), or moving money (Financial). The blast radius is minimal: incorrect associations can be corrected by removing them. Severity is low because the operation is scoped, reversible, and affects only metadata relationships, not the actual files.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'an album association is created' — this is a data modification operation that creates a new relationship record without deleting or moving files. The operation is reversible (the association can be removed).
