What add_contact_email does on AirMCP
AI agents use add_contact_email to create or update resources in AirMCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AirMCP environment.
Why add_contact_email is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing contact information reversibly. While the operation itself is not destructive (the change can be undone or corrected), it does alter stored data in the contacts system. The severity is medium because misuse could add incorrect contact information, potentially disrupting communication, but the blast radius is limited to a single contact's email field.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_contact_email' and description states 'Add an email address to an existing contact' — this creates or modifies contact data by appending an email address to a contact record.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_contact_email safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_contact_email, this is the rule to start with:
add_contact_email 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 AirMCP, apply this rule, and every add_contact_email call is checked against it from then on.
