WHAT IT DOES

What complete_mention does on CoWork OS

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

RISK

Why complete_mention is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (updates a mention's completion status) in a reversible manner. The operation changes metadata about a mention without deleting data or executing external code. It is a Write operation with low severity because the blast radius of misuse is limited to marking mentions as complete, which can be undone by marking them incomplete again.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Mark a mention as completed', which is a state-change operation that modifies the status of a mention record.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs complete_mention safely

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

complete_mention Rate-limited

complete_mention 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.
