WHAT IT DOES

What dm_send does on 0click Insta

AI agents use dm_send to create or update resources in 0click Insta, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 0click Insta environment.

RISK

Why dm_send is rated Medium

An AI agent can call dm_send faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in 0click Insta by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs dm_send safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0click Insta, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dm_send, this is the rule to start with:

dm_send Rate-limited

dm_send stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
