MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

Destructive · High delete_all_bookmarks This tool removes data that cannot be recovered. Destructive · Low delete_bookmark Deleting a bookmark is an irreversible removal action (the bookmark is gone unless re-added manually). Destructive · High delete_tweet This tool permanently removes data (a tweet) that cannot be undone. Write · Low create_poll_tweet The tool creates new data (a tweet with poll options) in a reversible manner.

9 of X (Twitter) MCP server's 24 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

HOW TO CONTROL X (TWITTER) MCP SERVER

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_all_bookmarks": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "bookmark_tweet": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "bookmark_tweet_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_bookmarks": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_bookmarks_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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