What arvan_notify_slack does on ArvanCloud MCP Server

Why arvan_notify_slack is rated High
This tool triggers an external operation by sending a message to Slack via a webhook. It doesn't merely read or write local data — it executes an outbound HTTP request to an external service (Slack), which constitutes triggering an external operation. Misuse could lead to spam, data exfiltration, or social engineering via Slack channels, hence medium severity.
