WHAT IT DOES

What create_referral_invites does on Local

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`lang`	string	—	ISO language of the invite you're writing (the user's conversation language, e.g. 'es', 'en'). Defaults to the Mac's language.
`recipients`	array	Yes	The picked recipients.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_referral_invites is rated Medium

This tool performs a data creation/modification operation—it records invitation data and generates unique referral links. This is a Write operation (reversible state change). Severity is medium because misuse could result in spam invites or fraudulent referral links sent to unintended recipients, but the tool itself does not execute external actions, delete data, or move money.

From the tool's definition Creates referral invite records with unique links per recipient ('records each invite and returns a UNIQUE referral link per person'). The tool modifies state by storing invite data, though it does not send emails itself ('Does NOT send anything itself').

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_referral_invites safely

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

create_referral_invites Rate-limited

create_referral_invites 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.

FAQ

Questions about create_referral_invites

What does the create_referral_invites tool do? +

Step 2 of the colleague-invite flow. Given the recipients the user PICKED, records each invite and returns a UNIQUE referral link per person (so the user can later see who installed/activated). Call this AFTER the user chooses, then put each returned link into that person's email and send via send_email. Does NOT send anything itself. Pass lang = the language you're actually writing the invite in (the user's conversation language, e.g. "es", "en") — it's recorded with the invite. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Local MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
