Why transfer_contact_to_company needs a policy

This tool modifies an existing CRM record by updating a contact's company association. It is reversible (the contact can be transferred back), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could cause data integrity issues in the CRM by incorrectly associating contacts with wrong companies.

POLICY

How to control transfer_contact_to_company

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

policy.json

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

transfer_contact_to_company 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.
