AI agents use send_multicast to create or modify resources in Linewhiz. 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 send_multicast 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 Linewhiz.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access send_multicast gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Send a text message to multiple users at once (max 500 user IDs).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Linewhiz MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Linewhiz MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for send_multicast: 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 Linewhiz. Nothing to install.
send_multicast is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the send_multicast 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for send_multicast. 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.
send_multicast is provided by the Linewhiz MCP server (kinzen/linewhiz). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
