WHAT IT DOES

What forward_message does on Pypi:deadsimple Email

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

RISK

Why forward_message is rated Medium

Forwarding a message sends an existing email to new recipients, which is a write/send operation. It creates a new outbound email but doesn't delete or irreversibly alter existing data. Misuse could expose sensitive email contents to unintended parties, warranting medium severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs forward_message safely

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

forward_message Rate-limited

forward_message 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.
