What contact_depscope does on Depscope
AI agents use contact_depscope to create or update resources in Depscope, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Depscope environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
body | string | — | Message body (10-8000 chars). Be specific: include package name, ecosystem, error trace, repro steps when applicable. |
kind | string | — | Ticket category. `anomaly` routes to structured anomaly triage (requires tool_called/observed/expected). |
name | string | — | Sender display name (optional). |
email | string | — | Reply-to email of the requester (required for bug/listing/security/partnership). |
company | string | — | Company / organization (optional). |
package | string | — | For kind=anomaly: package name involved, if any. |
subject | string | — | Short subject line (3-200 chars). |
version | string | — | For kind=anomaly: package version involved, if any. |
expected | string | — | For kind=anomaly: what you expected to see (1-1500 chars). Be concrete. |
observed | string | — | For kind=anomaly: what DepScope returned (1-1500 chars). |
ecosystem | string | — | For kind=anomaly: ecosystem of the involved package, if any. |
tool_called | string | — | For kind=anomaly: DepScope tool that produced the anomaly (e.g. check_package, get_migration_path). |

Why contact_depscope is rated Medium
This tool creates a support/reporting ticket (bug, listing, security disclosure, anomaly, or partnership request) and returns a ticket or anomaly ID. It creates a new record reversibly (a ticket can be voided/closed), making it a Write operation. Blast radius is low since it only submits an inbound report to DepScope staff and does not modify any package data or execute code.
From the tool's definition Inbound ticket: bug/listing/security/anomaly/partnership... RETURNS: {ticket_id} or {anomaly_id}

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs contact_depscope safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Depscope, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For contact_depscope, this is the rule to start with:
contact_depscope 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 Depscope, apply this rule, and every contact_depscope call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about contact_depscope
Inbound ticket: bug/listing/security/anomaly/partnership. USE WHEN: reporting wrong data (bug), requesting a new pkg/ecosystem index (listing), disclosing a DepScope security issue (security), flagging a concrete mismatch in another tool's output vs. authoritative source (anomaly — provide tool_called+observed+expected), or partnership/press (partnership). RETURNS: {ticket_id} or {anomaly_id}. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Depscope MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
contact_depscope accepts 12 parameters: body, kind, name, email, company, package, subject, version, expected, observed, ecosystem, tool_called. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Depscope MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for contact_depscope: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Depscope. Nothing to install.
contact_depscope is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the contact_depscope rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for contact_depscope. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
contact_depscope is provided by the Depscope MCP server (cuttalo/depscope-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
