What add_note does on Intellirecon Console
AI agents use add_note to create or update resources in Intellirecon Console, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Intellirecon Console environment.
Why add_note is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data (a note) reversibly. It does not retrieve data (Read), execute code or external operations (Execute), irreversibly destroy data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).
From the tool's definition The tool "add_note" with description "Leave a free-text note on a target" creates new note data associated with a target. This is a reversible write operation—notes can typically be edited or deleted without destructive consequences.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_note safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Intellirecon Console, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_note, this is the rule to start with:
add_note 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 Intellirecon Console, apply this rule, and every add_note call is checked against it from then on.
