Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why group_add_member is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (group membership) reversibly. Adding members to groups is a Write operation, not Read (it modifies state), not Execute (no arbitrary code execution), not Destructive (reversible via removal), and not Financial. Severity is medium because an AI agent misusing this could add unwanted members to groups causing organizational disruption or privacy issues, but the action is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool explicitly adds members to groups: 'Add a member to an existing group on Telegram or WhatsApp. Adds the specified member to the group.' This is a reversible modification of group membership state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs group_add_member safely

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

group_add_member Rate-limited

group_add_member 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.
