WHAT IT DOES

What send-channel-notification does on Frontmcp

AI agents use send-channel-notification to create or update resources in Frontmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Frontmcp environment.

RISK

Why send-channel-notification is rated Medium

This tool writes data (a notification message) to a channel system, making it Write rather than Read. It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), destroy data (Destructive), or involve financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'send[s] a notification through the channel system', which creates a new communication artifact in a notification/messaging system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs send-channel-notification safely

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

send-channel-notification Rate-limited

send-channel-notification 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.
