Why monica_manage_tag needs a policy

The tool spans Write (create/update) and Destructive (delete) categories. However, deleting tags is reversible metadata management—tags can be recreated and do not destroy underlying contact records. The primary function is organizing/categorizing contacts through tag management (Write operations).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it can "create, update, or delete tags" - the delete operation is explicitly mentioned but in the context of managing metadata (tags), not irreversibly destroying contact data itself.

How to control monica_manage_tag

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

policy.json

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

monica_manage_tag 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.
