Medium Risk

add_audience_members

Add members (contacts) to an existing audience. Each member must include the phone number column defined when the audience was created (use get_audience to check). Max 10,000 members per request. Duplicate phone numbers are skipped.

Part of the Smallest MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use add_audience_members to create or modify resources in Smallest. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call add_audience_members repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Smallest.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the add_audience_members tool do? +

Add members (contacts) to an existing audience. Each member must include the phone number column defined when the audience was created (use get_audience to check). Max 10,000 members per request. Duplicate phone numbers are skipped.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Smallest MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on add_audience_members? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for add_audience_members. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Smallest MCP server.

What risk level is add_audience_members? +

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

Can I rate-limit add_audience_members? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_audience_members rule in your Intercept 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 add_audience_members completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for add_audience_members. 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 add_audience_members? +

add_audience_members is provided by the Smallest MCP server (@developer-smallestai/smallest-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
