create_group · Miro MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_group does on Miro MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_group needs a policy

This tool modifies the structure and organization of existing items by grouping them, which is a Write operation. It is reversible (groups can be ungrouped) and does not create, delete, or irreversibly alter data. The severity is medium because grouping operations on collaborative boards could affect visibility and workflow for other users, but the impact is non-destructive and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_group' and description 'Group multiple existing items together' indicates a reversible modification operation that organizes existing board content without creating new items or deleting data.
