What hosted_auth_link does on Max MCP Server
AI agents call hosted_auth_link to retrieve information from Max MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why hosted_auth_link is rated Low
Even though hosted_auth_link only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs hosted_auth_link safely
