WHAT IT DOES

`status`	string	—	Default DRAFT
`channel`	string	Yes	email \| sms \| whatsapp \| push

`recipientIds`	array	—	Required if recipientSource="individual", "list", or "csv"; values are account IDs
`channelConfig`	object	—	Channel-specific config: subject + htmlBody for email, body for sms/whatsapp, templateId, etc. Legacy email html is normalized to htmlBody.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_campaign is rated Medium

This tool creates new marketing campaign records but does not execute, delete, or send them (they remain in DRAFT state). It is a Write operation because it creates and modifies data reversibly. Severity is medium because a misused campaign could be created with malicious content targeting customer lists, but the draft status provides a safety boundary—it does not automatically send or execute.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a marketing campaign (email, SMS, or WhatsApp) in DRAFT', indicating it creates new data records. The mention of draft status shows the action is reversible (campaigns can be edited or deleted before sending).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_campaign safely

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

create_campaign Rate-limited

create_campaign 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.

          "max": 30,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FavCRM, apply this rule, and every create_campaign call is checked against it from then on.
