HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/trekmail-mcp-server/pause-mailbox ## Facts - Tool: `pause_mailbox` - Server: TrekMail MCP Server (`trekmail/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/trekmail-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/trekmail/mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "pause_mailbox", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why pause_mailbox is rated Medium Pausing a mailbox disables its ability to send and receive email, which is a significant but reversible modification (it can be resumed). This fits the Write category as it modifies the state of the mailbox without permanently deleting data. Severity is high because misuse could disrupt communications for the affected mailbox owner, potentially causing missed emails and business disruption. From the tool's own definition: "Pause (disable) a mailbox. The mailbox will stop receiving and sending email until resumed." ## Use case AI agents use pause_mailbox to create or update resources in TrekMail MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context.
