WHAT IT DOES

What twitter_retweet does on ScopeGate

AI agents use twitter_retweet 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_retweet is rated Medium

Retweeting creates new content/engagement on a social platform on behalf of the user. It is reversible (can be undone by un-retweeting), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could cause reputational harm by retweeting unwanted content under the user's account.

From the tool's definition "Retweet a tweet" — creates a retweet action on Twitter, which is a reversible write operation (can be un-retweeted).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs twitter_retweet safely

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

twitter_retweet Rate-limited

twitter_retweet 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_retweet call is checked against it from then on.
