WHAT IT DOES

What twitter_follow_user does on ScopeGate

AI agents use twitter_follow_user to create or update resources in ScopeGate, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScopeGate environment.

RISK

Why twitter_follow_user is rated Medium

Following a user on Twitter is a Write operation: it creates a new social relationship (follow) that is reversible by unfollowing. It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could cause reputational harm (e.g., an agent following unintended accounts at scale), hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Follow a user' — creates a follow relationship on Twitter, which is a reversible social action (can be unfollowed).

The rule that runs twitter_follow_user safely

twitter_follow_user Rate-limited

twitter_follow_user 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.
