WHAT IT DOES

What excel_create_table does on Sage MCP

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

RISK

Why excel_create_table is rated Medium

This tool creates structured data objects (tables) within Excel worksheets, which is a reversible modification operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The medium severity reflects that misuse could corrupt worksheet organization or overwrite existing table structures in shared documents, but the action is reversible via undo or deletion of the created table.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'excel_create_table' and description states it will 'Create a table in a worksheet from a cell range', which directly modifies worksheet structure by establishing table boundaries and headers.
