Why planfix_create_contact needs a policy

This tool creates new contact records in the Planfix CRM system. Creation is a reversible write operation (contacts can typically be edited or deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The severity is medium because misuse could create spam contacts or pollute the contact database, but the impact is limited to CRM data and reversible through standard CRM operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'planfix_create_contact' with description 'Create a new contact in Planfix' indicates creation of new data in the CRM system. The verb 'create' and the context of contact management in a CRM platform establish this as a write operation.

POLICY

How to control planfix_create_contact

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "planfix_create_contact": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "planfix_create_contact_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

planfix_create_contact 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.
