`confirm`	boolean	—	Must be true to create

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_reminder_list is rated Medium

This tool creates a new reminder list, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The confirmation requirement provides an additional safety measure. Severity is low because reminder lists are non-critical personal data with minimal blast radius if created erroneously.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_reminder_list' and description 'Creates a new list in Apple Reminders' explicitly indicate data creation. The 'Requires confirm=true' safeguard reduces risk.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_reminder_list safely

create_reminder_list Rate-limited

create_reminder_list 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.
