AI agents use connect_connector to create or modify resources in SendIt. 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 connect_connector 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 SendIt.

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 connect_connector only ever does what you allow.

What does the connect_connector tool do? +

Initiate authentication flow for a connector. For OAuth2 connectors, returns an authorization URL. For API key connectors, stores the provided key. For webhook connectors, registers the webhook URL.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SendIt MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on connect_connector? +

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

What risk level is connect_connector? +

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

Can I rate-limit connect_connector? +

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

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

connect_connector is provided by the SendIt MCP server (https://sendit.infiniteappsai.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 SendIt tool call.
