THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why send_facebook_message needs a policy

This tool performs a reversible write action—creating and sending a message. While it modifies state by adding a message to a conversation, the action is not destructive (messages can be edited/deleted) and involves no financial transaction or code execution. The medium severity reflects potential for abuse (spam, impersonation, social engineering) but limited blast radius compared to higher categories.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Send a Facebook Messenger message', which creates/posts a message to an external communication platform without irreversible deletion or financial transaction.

POLICY

How to control send_facebook_message

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_facebook_message:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "send_facebook_message": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "send_facebook_message_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

send_facebook_message 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.

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