WHAT IT DOES

What send_message does on Iconnect

AI agents invoke send_message to trigger actions in Iconnect. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why send_message is rated High

Sending a message triggers an external operation (iMessage/SMS delivery) with real-world effects that cannot be undone. It contacts third parties, can be used for spam or social engineering, and the blast radius of misuse is high. This is Execute (triggering external operations) rather than Write, since the message is delivered outside the system.

From the tool's definition Send a text message via iMessage/SMS. Requires a phone number or email as the target handle.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

send_message Rate-limited

send_message stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "max": 10,

      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

FAQ

Questions about send_message

What does the send_message tool do? +

Send a text message via iMessage/SMS. Requires a phone number or email as the target handle. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on send_message? +

Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for send_message: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Iconnect. Nothing to install.

What risk level is send_message? +

send_message is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit send_message? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the send_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 send_message completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for send_message. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides send_message? +

send_message is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
