Why post_to_facebook needs a policy

The tool creates new content on a public or semi-public Facebook Page. While reversible (posts can be deleted), the creation of content that reaches an audience constitutes a Write action. Severity is high because a compromised AI agent could post misleading, offensive, or damaging content to a brand's audience, harming reputation and trust.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new Facebook Page post' - explicitly a creation action. Server description confirms 'content posting' as a capability. This creates new data (social media posts) that can be viewed by potentially large audiences.

POLICY

How to control post_to_facebook

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "post_to_facebook": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "post_to_facebook_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

post_to_facebook 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.
