What campaign_create does on Task Crusader MCP

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why campaign_create needs a policy

The tool creates new campaign records in the task management system, which is a reversible write operation. Severity is medium because campaigns and tasks are typically project metadata rather than critical operational data, though malicious use could create numerous task entries for disruption or misdirection.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'campaign_create' and sibling tool 'campaign_create_with_tasks' indicate creation of campaign objects. The server's purpose of 'campaign and task management' combined with the tool name confirms data creation capability.
