MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous FreshBooks MCP Server tools

Financial · Critical freshbooks_send_saturday_invoices Despite the empty description, the tool name clearly references sending invoices on FreshBooks, a financial platform. Write · Medium freshbooks_log_time The tool name and server description strongly suggest this tool logs (creates) billable time entries in FreshBooks.

2 of FreshBooks MCP Server's 5 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control FreshBooks MCP Server

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

Block financial tools by default

{
  "freshbooks_send_saturday_invoices": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "freshbooks_log_time": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "freshbooks_log_time_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "debug_auth_status": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "debug_auth_status_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
