Medium Risk

invite_member

Invite one or more users to your organization by email. They'll receive an invitation email to join. Requires admin role on the organization. You can invite as 'member' (default) or 'admin'.

Admin/system-level operation

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

AI agents use invite_member 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 invite_member 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 invite_member tool do? +

Invite one or more users to your organization by email. They'll receive an invitation email to join. Requires admin role on the organization. You can invite as 'member' (default) or 'admin'.. 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 invite_member? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for invite_member. 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 invite_member? +

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

Can I rate-limit invite_member? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the invite_member 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 invite_member completely? +

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

invite_member 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.
