Why publish_survey is rated Medium

An AI agent can call publish_survey faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Mailchimp MCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

publish_survey Rate-limited

publish_survey 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.
