WHAT IT DOES

What create_message_token does on TrekMail MCP Server

AI agents use create_message_token to create or update resources in TrekMail MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TrekMail MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why create_message_token is rated Medium

This tool creates authentication credentials that persist and grant ongoing access to mailbox operations. While the immediate action is creating a token (Write), the token's grants span Read, Write, and Execute (send) capabilities. However, the tool itself performs a Write action—creating a new credential object.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Create[s] a message API token' and 'grants access to read, write, or send messages'. The act of creating a token is a Write operation (creates a credential artifact).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_message_token safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TrekMail MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_message_token, this is the rule to start with:

create_message_token Rate-limited

create_message_token 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.
