What hide_thread_reply does on Hermoso
AI agents use hide_thread_reply to create or update resources in Hermoso, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hermoso environment.
Why hide_thread_reply is rated Medium
This tool modifies the visibility state of a reply (hide/unhide), which is a reversible write action. It does not delete content permanently — unhiding is possible — so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could suppress legitimate user comments on a brand's public post, giving it medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs hide_thread_reply safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hermoso, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For hide_thread_reply, this is the rule to start with:
hide_thread_reply 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 Hermoso, apply this rule, and every hide_thread_reply call is checked against it from then on.
