MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Twist tools

Write · Medium add_message_to_thread This tool creates new message data in a thread, which is a write operation. Write · Medium close_thread This is a Write operation because it modifies data reversibly—changing a thread's closed status. Write · Medium create_thread This tool creates new data (threads) in Twist that persists and affects the channel's state, but the action is reversible (threads can be deleted via close_thread or similar operations).

3 of Twist's 6 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Twist

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_message_to_thread": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_message_to_thread_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_channel": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_channel_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 Twist — 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.

FAQ

Questions about Twist

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Twist? +

The Twist server has 3 write tools including add_message_to_thread, close_thread, create_thread. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Twist.

How many tools does the Twist MCP server expose? +

6 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 3 are read-only. 3 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Twist? +

Register the Twist MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Twist tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 6 Twist tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
