What gts_mute_user does on Crow
AI agents use gts_mute_user to create or update resources in Crow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.
Why gts_mute_user is rated Medium
Muting a user modifies account relationship state (hiding posts) but is reversible — the account can be unmuted. Federation continues, so no content is destroyed. This is a reversible write operation. Misuse could affect user experience by silencing accounts, hence medium severity.
From the tool's definition Mute an account (hide posts but still federate)

The rule that runs gts_mute_user safely

gts_mute_user 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crow, apply this rule, and every gts_mute_user call is checked against it from then on.
