AI agents use contacts-create_signal to create or modify resources in Saber. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call contacts-create_signal repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Saber.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so contacts-create_signal only ever does what you allow.

What does the contacts-create_signal tool do? +

Create a contact research signal, return immediately, then poll the signal ID or receive results through a webhook.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Saber MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on contacts-create_signal? +

Register the Saber MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for contacts-create_signal: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Saber. Nothing to install.

What risk level is contacts-create_signal? +

contacts-create_signal is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit contacts-create_signal? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the contacts-create_signal rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block contacts-create_signal completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for contacts-create_signal. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides contacts-create_signal? +

contacts-create_signal is provided by the Saber MCP server (https://mcp.saber.app/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Saber tool call.
