Capped at the 5 newest test rows per form. Errors with: unauthorized, not_found, invalid_input, too_many_fields, field_too_large.

## Why send_test_submission is rated Medium

This tool creates test submission records in a form system, which is a Write operation. It is reversible (limited to 5 rows per form, clearly marked as test data) and has minimal side effects (no email sending, no spam scoring, no quota impact). The scope is intentionally limited to non-production testing, making this low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Store a TEST submission' and 'Stored only: it appears in the owner's Inbox with a Test badge'. The word 'Store' indicates data creation/modification."

## Use case

AI agents use send_test_submission 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.
