What send_group_notice does on NapCat MCP Server
AI agents use send_group_notice 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_notice is rated Medium
The tool creates new data (a group announcement) and posts it to a messaging platform, which is reversible (notices can typically be deleted or edited). This is a Write operation. Severity is medium because an AI agent misusing this could spam announcements to large groups, disrupting the service, but it's not destructive (can be undone), not financial, and doesn't execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'send_group_notice'; description states 'Send group announcement' — this creates/posts new content (a notice/announcement) to a group, modifying the group's state by adding a new message.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs send_group_notice safely

send_group_notice 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_notice call is checked against it from then on.
