What passwordlessLoginWithId does on Fusionauth
AI agents invoke passwordlessLoginWithId to trigger actions in Fusionauth. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why passwordlessLoginWithId is rated High
This tool completes an authentication flow by processing a passwordless login code, which is an external operation that establishes an authenticated session. It triggers identity verification and session creation with significant security implications if misused — an attacker could use it to authenticate as a user without their password.

The rule that runs passwordlessLoginWithId safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fusionauth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For passwordlessLoginWithId, this is the rule to start with:
passwordlessLoginWithId stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fusionauth, apply this rule, and every passwordlessLoginWithId call is checked against it from then on.
