What gts_unfollow does on Crow

AI agents use gts_unfollow 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.

Medium Risk

Why gts_unfollow needs a policy

Unfollowing an account modifies a social relationship state (removes a follow relationship). This is a reversible write operation — the user can re-follow the account. It does not delete data irreversibly, execute code, or involve finances. Severity is medium because an AI agent misusing this could silently remove social connections without user awareness.

How to control gts_unfollow

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

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

gts_unfollow 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 Crow — 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.
