## Why node_sms_send is rated High

This tool sends real SMS messages to external recipients via a physical device. It triggers an external operation (SMS transmission) with real-world consequences — potential for spam, harassment, phishing, or unintended communication. While not financial or destructive, it executes an action with significant blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Send an SMS message using an Android mobile companion device"

## Use case

AI agents invoke node_sms_send to trigger actions in CoWork OS. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CoWork OS:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "node_sms_send": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "node_sms_send_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
