Why smartlead_update_campaign_settings needs a policy

This tool modifies campaign configuration (settings, schedules) in Smartlead, which affects email campaign behavior and lead targeting. While reversible (Write, not Destructive), the broad scope of 'campaign settings' could impact many leads and campaign mechanics, warranting high severity due to potential misuse causing unintended campaign behavior or mass communications.

From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'update' operation on campaign settings; server description confirms the MCP server enables 'updating schedules' and managing campaigns. 'Update' is a reversible modification of data.

How to control smartlead_update_campaign_settings

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Smartlead Mcp Server Sse, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for smartlead_update_campaign_settings:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "smartlead_update_campaign_settings": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "smartlead_update_campaign_settings_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

smartlead_update_campaign_settings 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.
