MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Sprout tools

Write · Medium sprout_schedule_campaign_queue This tool creates or modifies scheduled posts reversibly. Write · Medium sprout_start_multipart_upload This tool initiates a media upload process, which is a write operation — it creates a new upload session/submission on the server. Write · Medium sprout_complete_multipart_upload This tool finalizes the upload of media files (images, videos, etc.) to Sprout Social's platform. Write · Medium sprout_continue_multipart_upload This tool uploads media file parts, which creates or modifies data on Sprout Social's platform.

7 of Sprout's 28 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Sprout

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "sprout_complete_multipart_upload": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "sprout_complete_multipart_upload_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "sprout_analyze_listening_trends": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "sprout_analyze_listening_trends_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register Sprout — nothing to install.
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.
