AI agents use outlook_create_draft 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.
This tool creates a reversible modification to email state—drafts can be edited, discarded, or deleted before sending. While draft creation itself is not destructive or immediately financial, the tool enables potential abuse vectors such as impersonation, unauthorized communications, or creation of misleading messages on behalf of the account holder.

"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
