Medium Risk

Why newsletters_add needs a policy

This tool creates new newsletters in Ghost CMS. While creation of newsletters is reversible (can be deleted via newsletters_delete), it constitutes a Write operation with medium severity—a compromised agent could create spam newsletters, send unwanted communications, or pollute the newsletter catalog.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'newsletters_add' indicates creation of a new newsletter. Server description mentions 'managing newsletters' and the sibling tools pattern (newsletters_browse, newsletters_delete) confirms newsletters as a primary resource.

How to control newsletters_add

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

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

newsletters_add 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 Ghost MCP Server — 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.
