## Why create_buy_request is rated Medium

The tool creates a new draft procurement document (a Buy request) with purchasable line items. This is a reversible write operation—drafts can be discarded or modified. However, the medium severity reflects that improper use could create unwanted purchase orders or commit budget allocations, which carries business impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a draft Sanka Buy request with one or more request lines.' This is a create operation that produces a new record."

## Use case

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