WHAT IT DOES

What custom_transition_email_template2_state does on Marketo MCP Server

AI agents invoke custom_transition_email_template2_state to trigger actions in Marketo MCP Server. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why custom_transition_email_template2_state needs a policy

The tool executes a direct Marketo REST API call to transition an email template's state. State transitions (e.g., draft, approved, archived) can have significant downstream effects on live marketing campaigns. The description is largely uninformative beyond 'calls the REST API directly', which lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly' and the name suggests a state transition on an email template, implying execution of an API operation that changes system state
