WHAT IT DOES

What mark_notifications_read does on Forgejo

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

RISK

Why mark_notifications_read is rated Medium

This tool modifies notification state (read status) for the authenticated user, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data permanently, or move money. While it changes state in the system, the scope is limited to the user's own notification preferences and the change is easily reversible (notifications can be marked unread again).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mark_notifications_read' and description 'Mark all notifications as read for the authenticated user' indicate a state change operation that modifies notification records.
