WHAT IT DOES

What twitter_send_dm does on ScopeGate

AI agents use twitter_send_dm 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_send_dm is rated Medium

Sending a direct message creates new data on Twitter/X's servers and is a reversible action (messages can be deleted). While it creates a communication artifact, it does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), nor involve financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'twitter_send_dm' with description 'Send a direct message to a user' indicates creation of a new message (Write action).

twitter_send_dm Rate-limited

twitter_send_dm 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.
