What send_message does on N2n Nexus

AI agents use send_message to create or update resources in N2n Nexus — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your N2n Nexus environment.

Why send_message needs a policy

This tool creates new message data in a chat or meeting context. It is reversible (messages can typically be edited or deleted by other means) and has no side effects beyond storing text communication. It is not destructive, does not execute code or external operations, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—at worst, unwanted messages would be sent, which is a low-impact write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Post message to active meeting or global chat' — the verb 'Post' and the action of adding a message to a chat or meeting indicates data creation/modification.

How to control send_message

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and N2n Nexus, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for send_message:

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

send_message 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 N2n Nexus — 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.
