social_follow · Logiqical MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What social_follow does on Logiqical

AI agents use social_follow to create or update resources in Logiqical — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Logiqical environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why social_follow needs a policy

Following a user is a reversible write action that creates a social relationship (a follow record) on the Arena platform. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. However, if misused by an AI agent, it could spam follows on behalf of a user without consent, hence medium severity.

Verdict

social_follow Rate-limited

social_follow 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.
