AI agents use messages_send to create or modify resources in Dialogbrain. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call messages_send repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Dialogbrain.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so messages_send only ever does what you allow.

What does the messages_send tool do? +

Send a message to a thread, channel, or contact. Supports Telegram, Email, LinkedIn, and other connected channels. For LinkedIn posts (comment_thread kind), this posts a comment on the post. Can automatically resolve recipients and channels when not specified. Can send files/images/documents as attachments — pass attachments=[file_id, ...] with integer file IDs obtained from collections.list_files, search.files, or files.search. text is optional when attachments are provided.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dialogbrain MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on messages_send? +

Register the Dialogbrain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for messages_send: 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 Dialogbrain. Nothing to install.

What risk level is messages_send? +

messages_send is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit messages_send? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the messages_send 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 messages_send completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for messages_send. 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 messages_send? +

messages_send is provided by the Dialogbrain MCP server (https://api.dialogbrain.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Dialogbrain tool call.
