WHAT IT DOES

What x_post does on Crawlora

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	X post id
`username`	string	—	Expected author username. When provided, mismatched authors return 404.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why x_post is rated Medium

An AI agent can call x_post faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Crawlora by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs x_post safely

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

x_post Rate-limited

x_post 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.

How do I block x_post completely? +
