Why follow needs a policy

This tool creates a follow relationship between the user and an organization or product, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies user preferences/feed state but has no destructive, financial, or execution implications. The blast radius is very low — misuse at worst clutters the user's personalized feed with unwanted follows, which can be undone.

From the tool's definition Follow an organization or a product so it appears in your personalized feed. Idempotent: following something you already follow is a no-op.

Questions about follow

What does the follow tool do? +

Follow an organization or a product so it appears in your personalized feed (get_personalized_feed). Following an organization implicitly includes all of its products. Requires a signed-in user (a relu_ user key or an OAuth token). entity is a typed id — an org_… id or a prod_… id — as returned by search, get_organization, or get_catalog_entry. Idempotent: following something you already follow is a no-op. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Releases MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does follow accept? +

follow accepts 1 parameter: entity. Required: entity. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on follow? +

Register the Releases MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for follow: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Releases. Nothing to install.

What risk level is follow? +

follow is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit follow? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the follow rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block follow completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for follow. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides follow? +

follow is provided by the Releases MCP server (https://mcp.releases.sh/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
