## Why create_form is rated Medium

This tool creates new form objects and associated resources (access keys, snippets), and triggers verification workflows. These are reversible modifications to managed data (forms can typically be deleted), making it a Write operation rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Create[s] a Formpaste form' and 'return[s] its access key + a wired snippet', indicating creation of new data structures. The tool also 'Triggers destination verification for a new address', showing it modifies system state."

## Use case

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