What add_contact_entry does on CRM MCP Server

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

Medium Risk

Why add_contact_entry needs a policy

The tool creates or adds a new contact entry to the CRM database, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies data (adds records) without deleting or executing arbitrary code. Severity is medium because adding contacts could enable spam, fraud, or data pollution if an agent is compromised, but the operation is reversible via deletion or archiving (as evidenced by 'archive_contact' sibling tool).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_contact_entry' indicates creation of a new contact record. Sibling tools include 'add_contact', 'add_todo', and other CRUD operations, confirming this server performs data creation. Description is empty, limiting confidence.

How to control add_contact_entry

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

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

add_contact_entry 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.
