WHAT IT DOES

What add_group_analyst does on Thinkific MCP Server

AI agents use add_group_analyst to create or update resources in Thinkific MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Thinkific MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why add_group_analyst is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies a user's administrative role assignment within a group. While it does not delete data (hence not Destructive) or execute arbitrary code (hence not Execute), it does persistently change access control and permissions. The user elevated becomes a manager, which affects what that user can do on the platform and potentially grants access to sensitive data or administrative functions.

From the tool's definition add_group_analyst: 'Add a user as an analyst (manager) for a group' modifies user permissions and group membership by elevating a user to analyst/manager role.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_group_analyst safely

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

add_group_analyst Rate-limited

add_group_analyst 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.
