What add_suppression does on Mcp Ap2

AI agents use add_suppression 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.

Medium Risk

Why add_suppression needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies suppression list data (a reversible operation). It does not delete data, execute code, move money, or cause direct financial impact. However, blocking mail delivery for recipients could affect business continuity if misapplied. Classified as Write rather than Destructive because the action is reversible (recipients can be removed from the suppression group).

From the tool's definition POST /asm/groups/{group_id}/suppressions. Modifies a suppression list by adding recipients whose future mail will be blocked.

How to control add_suppression

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_suppression:

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

add_suppression 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
