Upsert contacts in Marketing Campaigns via PUT /marketing/contacts. Matches on email. Returns a job_id — ingestion is async. Optionally assign to list_ids.
AI agents use add_contact to create or update resources in Mcp Ap2 — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ap2 environment.
This tool creates or modifies contact records in a marketing system. Upsert (update or insert) is a reversible write operation—contacts can be modified or deleted later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete irreversibly, move money, or bypass financial controls.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Upsert contacts in Marketing Campaigns via PUT /marketing/contacts' — upsert (create or update) is a reversible write operation. Returns a job_id for async processing.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_contact gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_contact:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_contact": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_contact_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_contact 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.

Upsert contacts in Marketing Campaigns via PUT /marketing/contacts. Matches on email. Returns a job_id — ingestion is async. Optionally assign to list_ids. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_contact: 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 Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
add_contact 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 add_contact 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 add_contact. 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.
add_contact is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
