Why send_audio needs a policy

This tool creates a new message (audio content) in WhatsApp, a real-world communication platform. This is a reversible write action (messages can be deleted). It is not Read (it modifies state), not Destructive (deletion is separate), not Financial (no money movement), and not Execute (it doesn't run arbitrary code—it sends a predetermined message type).

From the tool's definition send_audio: Send an audio message via WhatsApp — creates/transmits a new message artifact in an external communication system (WhatsApp).

How to control send_audio

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 send_audio:

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

send_audio 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.
