What twitter_mute_user does on ScopeGate
AI agents use twitter_mute_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.
Why twitter_mute_user is rated Medium
Muting a user is a reversible write action that modifies the authenticated user's social graph/settings by suppressing another user's content. It can be undone by unmuting. No data is deleted, no money moves, no code is executed. Severity is medium because misuse could silently mute legitimate contacts or communications at scale.
From the tool's definition 'Mute a user' — muting modifies account relationship/settings state

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