WHAT IT DOES

What create_broadcast does on Ncp

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

RISK

Why create_broadcast is rated Medium

This tool creates a new broadcast message, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies data in an external service (ConvertKit) by adding a new broadcast. Severity is medium because misuse could spam subscribers or send unintended messages, but the operation can be undone by deleting the broadcast. Not Financial since it doesn't move money or commit billing. Not Destructive since broadcasts can be deleted.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_broadcast' and description 'Create ConvertKit broadcast' indicate creation of new content/message in ConvertKit email platform.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_broadcast safely

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

create_broadcast Rate-limited

create_broadcast 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 Ncp, apply this rule, and every create_broadcast call is checked against it from then on.
