What custom_update_email2 does on Marketo MCP Server
AI agents invoke custom_update_email2 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 custom_update_email2 is rated High
The tool directly invokes the Marketo REST API with unspecified arguments. The name suggests email updating (Write), but because it calls the API 'directly' with no constraints described, it could execute arbitrary API operations including activating campaigns, modifying leads, or other high-impact actions. The most severe plausible category given the open-ended API access is Execute.
From the tool's definition 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly' — the tool makes direct REST API calls; name includes 'update_email' suggesting modification, but description is largely uninformative about exact operations or constraints
