WHAT IT DOES

What invite-user does on Descope MCP Server

AI agents use invite-user to create or update resources in Descope MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Descope MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why invite-user is rated Medium

This tool creates new user accounts and generates invitations, which are reversible write operations. While it modifies the system state by adding users, this can be undone (users can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create and invite a new user to the Descope project' — this involves creating new user entities and sending invitations, both of which are data creation and modification operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs invite-user safely

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

invite-user Rate-limited

invite-user 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.
