What report_spam does on TrekMail MCP Server
AI agents use report_spam 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.
Why report_spam is rated Medium
This tool modifies data reversibly: it changes a message's location (Junk folder) and updates filter training data, both of which can be undone (move message back, retrain filter). It does not delete data irreversibly, execute arbitrary code, or perform destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'moves the message to the Junk folder' and 'trains the anti-spam filter', which are reversible modifications to message state and filter configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs report_spam 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 report_spam, this is the rule to start with:
report_spam 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TrekMail MCP Server, apply this rule, and every report_spam call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the report_spam rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
