What cdp_send_email does on CDP MCP Server
AI agents invoke cdp_send_email to trigger actions in CDP MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why cdp_send_email is rated High
Sending an email is an external operation that triggers real-world side effects (delivering messages to recipients). It is not merely writing data to a store, but executing an action with external consequences. Misuse could result in mass unsolicited emails to customers, making severity high.
From the tool's definition "Send an email of a specific type" — actively triggers an external communication operation
