WHAT IT DOES

What send_notification does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents invoke send_notification to trigger actions in FlowDot MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why send_notification is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation — dispatching a message through third-party communication platforms. It is not a simple write to internal data; it actively sends content to external services (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal), making it Execute. Misuse could result in spam, harassment, or social engineering via the user's trusted communication channels, warranting medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs send_notification safely

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

send_notification Rate-limited

send_notification stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
