Why splitwise_action is rated Medium
The tool bundles both read and write operations. The most severe applicable category is Write due to 'create_expense', which creates financial records in Splitwise and can affect shared balances between users. While Splitwise itself doesn't move real money, creating expenses commits financial obligations/debts between parties, making this high severity.
From the tool's definition 'create_expense' is listed as one of the actions this tool can perform, alongside read operations like get_groups, get_expenses, get_balances, get_friends

The rule that runs splitwise_action safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For splitwise_action, this is the rule to start with:
splitwise_action 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every splitwise_action call is checked against it from then on.
