What capture does on ChurnFlow MCP Server

AI agents use capture to create or update resources in ChurnFlow MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ChurnFlow MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Why capture needs a policy

This tool takes natural language input and creates new records in project trackers. It is a Write operation (creating data) with no indication of irreversible deletion or financial transactions. Severity is medium because an AI agent could create many unwanted entries across multiple trackers if misused, but the data is reversible.

From the tool's definition 'Capture and route text input' — creates new task/idea entries and routes them to project trackers

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access capture gives an agent:

How to control capture

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "capture": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "capture_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

capture 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.

  1. Create a free account and register ChurnFlow MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on capture? +

Register the ChurnFlow MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for capture: 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 ChurnFlow MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is capture? +

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

Can I rate-limit capture? +

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

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