WHAT IT DOES

What create_contact does on Iconnect

AI agents use create_contact to create or update resources in Iconnect, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconnect environment.

RISK

Why create_contact is rated Medium

This tool creates new contact records in the Apple ecosystem with user-provided information. Creating contacts is a reversible Write operation—contacts can be deleted or modified later. It has minimal blast radius as it only adds benign contact metadata without triggering external communications, financial transactions, or code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_contact' and description 'Create a new contact with name and optional email, phone, organization' explicitly indicates creation of new data (reversible contact records).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_contact safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_contact, this is the rule to start with:

create_contact Rate-limited

create_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.
