# add_connection Create a connection between two nodes in a workflow. Connects an output socket to an input socket. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `add_connection`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/add-connection ## Facts - Tool: `add_connection` - Server: FlowDot MCP Server (`flowdot-llc/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/flowdot-llc/mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "add_connection", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why add_connection is rated Medium This tool creates new workflow connections, which modifies the workflow structure reversibly. It is a Write operation because connections can be created and subsequently removed or modified without permanent data loss. The severity is medium because misuse could disrupt workflow logic and automation chains, but the effect is limited to workflow structure rather than data deletion or external system impact. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a connection between two nodes in a workflow. Connects an output socket to an input socket.' The verb 'Create' and action of establishing connections indicates data modification." ## Use case AI agents use add_connection to create or update resources in FlowDot MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FlowDot MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FlowDot MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "add_connection": { "limits": [ { "counter": "add_connection_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on FlowDot MCP Server (206) - `browser_act` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-act.md - `cancel_execution` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/cancel-execution.md - `delete_agent_character` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-agent-character.md - `delete_app` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app.md - `delete_app_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-app-file.md - `delete_connection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-connection.md - `delete_custom_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-custom-node.md - `delete_goal` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal.md - `delete_goal_milestone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-milestone.md - `delete_goal_task` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-goal-task.md - `delete_image` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-image.md - `delete_input_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-input-preset.md - `delete_knowledge_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-category.md - `delete_knowledge_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-knowledge-document.md - `delete_node` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-node.md - `delete_recipe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe.md - `delete_recipe_step` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-step.md - `delete_recipe_store` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-recipe-store.md - `delete_workflow` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/delete-workflow.md - `email_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/email-delete.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_agent_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-agent-toolkit.md - `mcp__flowdot__delete_toolkit_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--delete-toolkit-tool.md - `mcp__flowdot__uninstall_toolkit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/mcp--flowdot--uninstall-toolkit.md - `panic_clear` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/panic-clear.md - `revoke_kb_access` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/revoke-kb-access.md - `unlink_property_kb_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/unlink-property-kb-source.md - `browser_launch` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-launch.md - `browser_navigate` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-navigate.md - `browser_sequence` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-sequence.md - `browser_wait_for` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/browser-wait-for.md - …and 176 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
