WHAT IT DOES

What whatsapp_disconnect does on Local

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`confirm`	boolean	—	Must be true to actually unlink. Without it, returns a preview.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why whatsapp_disconnect is rated Medium

Unlinking WhatsApp is a reversible write operation that modifies the authentication state of the Mac device. While it disconnects the service, it does not delete data ('Your chats stay on your phone') and can be undone by calling whatsapp_connect again. This makes it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition The tool performs 'Unlink WhatsApp' and 'logs out the linked device' with a confirmation pattern. The description explicitly states 'Write operation: the first call (confirm=false) returns a preview without disconnecting; set confirm=true to actually unlink.'…

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

whatsapp_disconnect Rate-limited

whatsapp_disconnect 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.

What risk level is whatsapp_disconnect? +

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

How do I block whatsapp_disconnect completely? +
