## Why createEmailTemplate is rated Medium

This tool creates a new email template resource in FusionAuth, which is a reversible write operation (templates can be modified or deleted). It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger external operations. The medium severity reflects that misconfiguration of email templates could affect user communications but is not immediately destructive or critical to system integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'createEmailTemplate' and description 'Creates an email template' explicitly indicate data creation."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fusionauth:
