WHAT IT DOES

What drop_pin does on Iconnect

AI agents use drop_pin 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 drop_pin is rated Medium

Dropping a pin in Apple Maps creates a new marker/annotation at specified coordinates. This is a reversible write action (pins can be removed) with minimal blast radius — it only affects the local Maps application UI state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs drop_pin 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 drop_pin, this is the rule to start with:

drop_pin Rate-limited

drop_pin 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.

Can I rate-limit drop_pin? +

How do I block drop_pin completely? +
