AI agents use smart_email to create or modify resources in JHJ-email-mcp. 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 smart_email 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 JHJ-email-mcp.

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 smart_email only ever does what you allow.

What does the smart_email tool do? +

Send email using natural language. Example: 'Send a meeting notice to test@qq.com'. It is categorised as a Write tool in the JHJ-email-mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on smart_email? +

Register the JHJ-email- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for smart_email: 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 JHJ-email-mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is smart_email? +

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

Can I rate-limit smart_email? +

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

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

smart_email is provided by the JHJ-email- MCP server (jhongjun1981/emailassistant-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every JHJ-email-mcp tool call.
