## Why custom_create_email_template2 is rated Medium

This tool creates new email templates in Marketo, which is a reversible data creation operation (Write category). Severity is high because misconfigured or malicious email templates could be used for phishing, spam, or brand damage at scale. The direct REST API invocation without native MCP wrapper increases risk of unintended side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'create' and description indicates it calls Marketo REST API directly to create email templates. The [CUSTOM] designation suggests it bypasses native abstractions and directly invokes API operations that modify marketing assets."

## Use case

AI agents use custom_create_email_template2 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.
