Why set_global_webhook needs a policy

This tool modifies system configuration (webhook URL) that persists and affects multiple monitors. It is reversible via edit_monitor_webhook or reconfiguration, making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_global_webhook' and description 'Set global webhook URL for all monitors' indicate modification of configuration that affects monitoring infrastructure across all monitors.

How to control set_global_webhook

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

policy.json

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

set_global_webhook 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
