What sendChatTypingIndicator does on Xdevplatform/xmcp
AI agents invoke sendChatTypingIndicator to trigger actions in Xdevplatform/xmcp. 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 sendChatTypingIndicator is rated High
Sending a typing indicator is an external side-effect operation that signals to other users that someone is typing. It doesn't read, write persistent data, or delete anything, but it does trigger an external real-time event on the platform. It's Execute because it initiates an external operation. Severity is low since the blast radius is minimal — it's a transient, ephemeral signal with no lasting impact.
From the tool's definition 'Send a typing indicator in a chat conversation' — triggers an external operation (sends a real-time signal to a chat service)
