## Why create_bot_env_var is rated Medium

This tool creates a new configuration entry (environment variable) for a bot, which is a write operation that modifies bot state. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While environment variables can influence bot behavior, the act of creation itself is reversible and thus categorized as Write rather than Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_bot_env_var' and description 'Create a new bot environment variable' indicate data creation. Environment variables can affect bot behavior and may contain sensitive configuration, but creation is reversible via update/delete operations."

## Use case

AI agents use create_bot_env_var to create or update resources in instantKOM MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your instantKOM MCP Server environment.
