WHAT IT DOES

What create_lead does on Businys

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

RISK

Why create_lead is rated Medium

This tool creates a new business lead record in a CRM-like system. It is a Write operation because it creates new data (a lead) that can be modified or deleted later. Severity is medium because misuse could result in spam leads, unwanted contacts in the pipeline, or inflated lead counts, but these effects are reversible and don't cause data loss or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_lead'; description specifies 'Manually add a lead' which creates a new record ('The lead enters the pipeline'). This is a reversible data creation operation.

create_lead Rate-limited

create_lead 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.
