AI agents use export_list to create or modify resources in Cold Email. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call export_list repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Cold Email.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access export_list gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Download the generated email sequences for a COMPLETED list. Only call this AFTER get_list_status shows processing_status = 'completed'. If the list is not yet completed, you'll get a 409 error — poll first.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Cold Email MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Cold Email MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Cold Email. Nothing to install.
export_list is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
export_list is provided by the Cold Email MCP server (https://mcp.machfive.io/mcp/{api_key}). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
