## Why send_email is rated Medium

This tool creates and sends email messages, which is a reversible write operation. While emails cannot be unsent after delivery, the action itself is not destructive of existing data. Severity is medium because misuse could lead to spam, harassment, or phishing campaigns, but the blast radius is limited to email communications rather than financial or data deletion impacts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'send_email' and description 'Send an email message to a contact in GoHighLevel' indicate creation and transmission of new communication data."

## Use case

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