WHAT IT DOES

What gql_follow_post does on Thinkific MCP Server

AI agents use gql_follow_post 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 gql_follow_post is rated Medium

Following a post creates or modifies a relationship record (the follow/subscription) in the system, which is reversible (can be unfollowed). This is a write operation that creates new data but does not delete, execute code, move money, or have destructive effects. Severity is low because the blast radius of accidentally following posts is minimal—it only affects notification preferences for the authenticated user.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Follow a post' action which modifies user notification preferences/subscription state. The description explicitly states it 'follow[s] a post' indicating a state change operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gql_follow_post 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 gql_follow_post, this is the rule to start with:

gql_follow_post Rate-limited

gql_follow_post 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.
