RISK

Why outlook_create_draft is rated Medium

This tool creates a new email draft, which is a reversible write operation. The draft is not automatically sent, so it does not execute external communications or trigger financial/destructive actions. However, it has medium severity because an AI agent could draft misleading or harmful emails that, if sent, could enable phishing, impersonation, or social engineering attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'outlook_create_draft' and description 'Create a new email draft in Outlook' indicate data creation without sending or executing external operations.
