WHAT IT DOES

What flag_message does on Iconnect

AI agents use flag_message 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 flag_message is rated Medium

Flagging/unflagging an email modifies its metadata state reversibly — the flag can be toggled back. This is a Write operation with medium severity since it alters email state but does not delete or expose sensitive content.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

flag_message Rate-limited

flag_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.

      ]
    }

}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every flag_message call is checked against it from then on.

Can I rate-limit flag_message? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flag_message rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block flag_message completely? +
