## Why vikunja_request_user_export is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (requesting a data export) rather than directly reading data. It initiates a server-side process that compiles and packages user data, which is an action with side effects (creating an export job/file on the server). It doesn't simply retrieve existing data — it causes the system to generate a new artifact.

From the tool's own definition: "Request a complete export of user data for privacy and backup purposes"

## Use case

AI agents invoke vikunja_request_user_export to trigger actions in Vikunja 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.
