WHAT IT DOES

What toggle_focus_mode does on Iconnect

AI agents invoke toggle_focus_mode 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 toggle_focus_mode is rated High

This tool triggers an external system operation on macOS — enabling or disabling Focus/Do Not Disturb mode. It changes system notification settings, which is an action with real side effects (could suppress or enable alerts, notifications, and communications). It's not merely reading data, and while reversible, it's a system-level execution action rather than a data write.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

toggle_focus_mode Rate-limited

toggle_focus_mode 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.
