## Why source_add is rated Medium

The 'add' prefix conventionally indicates Write operations that create or append new entities. Without a description, confidence is reduced, but the verb form and consistency with sibling 'add' tools support Write classification. No evidence of irreversible deletion, financial transaction, or code execution. If this tool adds media sources or configuration sources to a project, it is reversibly modifying state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'source_add' suggests creating or adding a new source entity. The description is empty, but the naming pattern matches sibling tools like 'animation_add_keyframe' and 'camera_add' which are Write operations (reversible additions to a project state)."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
