Why set_reminder needs a policy

The tool creates or schedules a new reminder record, which is a reversible write operation. No description is provided, lowering confidence slightly, but the sibling tools (add_company, add_note, add_person, delete_company, delete_person) and server's stated capability to 'set follow-up tasks' confirm this creates data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_reminder' and server context describing 'setting follow-up tasks' indicates creating/modifying reminder records in Folk CRM.

How to control set_reminder

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

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

set_reminder 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.
