MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous PyWA MCP Server tools

Execute · Medium indicate_typing Based on the tool name and server context (WhatsApp Business API), 'indicate_typing' likely triggers a typing indicator in a WhatsApp conversation — an external operation with a visible side effect. Write · Low remove_reaction Removing a reaction is a reversible modification to a message's metadata (reactions can be re-added). Write · Low mark_message_as_read This tool modifies message state (marking as read) which is a reversible write operation. Write · Medium request_location This tool sends an outbound WhatsApp message to a user requesting their location.

17 of PyWA MCP Server's 18 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control PyWA MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PyWA MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "mark_message_as_read": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "mark_message_as_read_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_templates": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_templates_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
