What sendgrid_send_email does on Integrations MCP
AI agents invoke sendgrid_send_email to trigger actions in Integrations MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

The description is empty, so classification is based on the name alone, but 'send_email' is unambiguous. Severity is high because a misused tool could send spam, phishing, or sensitive content to arbitrary recipients at scale via SendGrid.
