Why send_presence needs a policy

The description is empty, so the tool's behavior must be inferred from its name alone. 'send_presence' could relate to messaging presence status (e.g., WhatsApp 'typing' or 'online' indicators), given sibling tools like 'check_is_whatsapp' and 'check_new_messages'. This would likely be a Write or Execute operation, but without any description, confidence is very low.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'send_presence' and description is empty or uninformative.

How to control send_presence

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "send_presence": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "send_presence_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

send_presence gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Automagik Tools — 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.
