Why reply_to_comment needs a policy

This tool creates/posts new data (a comment reply) on Facebook, which is a reversible modification. It is not destructive (replies can be deleted), not financial, and not pure Read (it modifies state). Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'reply_to_comment' and description 'Reply to a specific comment on a Facebook post' indicate the tool creates new content (a reply/comment) on Facebook.

POLICY

How to control reply_to_comment

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 reply_to_comment:

policy.json

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

reply_to_comment 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.

Create a free account and register Just Facebook MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
