Without evidence of irreversibility (deletion), external execution (shell/code), or financial transactions, Write is the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'sendElicitationResult' and description 'Submit user response for a pending elicitation request' indicate the tool creates or modifies data (a response submission) that is reversible and has no external side effects like deletion or financial impact.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sendElicitationResult 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 sendElicitationResult, this is the rule to start with:
sendElicitationResult 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 Frontmcp, apply this rule, and every sendElicitationResult call is checked against it from then on.
