What send_group_msg does on NapCat MCP Server
AI agents use send_group_msg to create or update resources in NapCat MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your NapCat MCP Server environment.
Why send_group_msg is rated Medium
send_group_msg creates new data (a group message) reversibly through the messaging API. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it could be misused to spam or harass groups, the blast radius is contained to messaging communication. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt group communication but does not cause permanent damage or financial harm.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs send_group_msg safely

send_group_msg 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect NapCat MCP Server, apply this rule, and every send_group_msg call is checked against it from then on.
