## Facts

- Tool: `users_admin_invite`
- Server: Slack (`karbassi/slack-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/karbassi-slack-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/karbassi/slack-mcp
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "users_admin_invite",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why users_admin_invite is rated Medium

This tool creates a new user account and assigns admin privileges, which is a reversible but consequential data modification. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not directly move money (not Financial), and does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute). However, granting admin access is a high-severity action because it grants broad permissions that could enable further compromise.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'invite' and description states 'Invite a user to the workspace as admin'. This creates a new user account with elevated privileges in the workspace."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
