## Why create_program is rated Medium

Creating a new program is a reversible write operation that modifies Marketo's state by adding a new marketing program asset. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), move money (not Financial), or merely query data (not Read).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_program' and description states 'Create a new program in Marketo.' This clearly indicates creation of a new asset in Marketo's marketing automation system."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
