What send_document does on Freshdesk
AI agents use send_document to create or update resources in Freshdesk, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Freshdesk environment.
Why send_document is rated Medium
Sending a document for signing or viewing is a write operation that creates new document distribution records and updates document status, but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. It could have moderate impact if misused to send documents to wrong recipients or trigger unintended signing workflows, hence medium severity.
From the tool's definition The tool 'send_document' is described as sending a PandaDoc document to recipients for viewing/signing. This creates or initiates a document transaction (sending/distributing), which modifies the state of the document workflow and recipient records.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs send_document safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freshdesk, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For send_document, this is the rule to start with:
send_document 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 Freshdesk, apply this rule, and every send_document call is checked against it from then on.
