WHAT IT DOES

What create_scoped_api_key does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents use create_scoped_api_key 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.

RISK

Why create_scoped_api_key is rated Medium

Creating API keys or tokens is a write operation that modifies the authentication/authorization state of the system. While not destructive (the key can be revoked), it creates a new persistent credential that could be used to escalate access or enable unauthorized operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_scoped_api_key' and description states 'Create a scoped CLI/automation token'. This creates a new API credential/token.

create_scoped_api_key Rate-limited

create_scoped_api_key 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.
