Why add_conversation_participant needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies conversation data by adding participants. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The ability to add participants to conversations could enable social engineering or unauthorized communication access if misused, but the operation is reversible (participants can be removed).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'add_' and description states 'Add a participant to a Conversation', which creates a new association/modifies conversation state by adding a messaging participant.

How to control add_conversation_participant

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Afip, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_conversation_participant:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_conversation_participant": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_conversation_participant_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_conversation_participant 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.
