WHAT IT DOES

What outlook_create_folder does on Sage MCP

AI agents use outlook_create_folder 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 outlook_create_folder is rated Medium

The tool creates (writes) new email folders, which is a reversible modification of email account state. It does not read-only operations (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial). While folder creation could clutter an account, folders can be deleted to undo the action, making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new mail folder with the description "Create a new mail folder. Can create top-level folders or child folders within an existing folder." This is a reversible creation operation that modifies the folder structure.
