What request_campaign does on Marketo MCP Server
AI agents invoke request_campaign to trigger actions in Marketo MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why request_campaign is rated High
Requesting a smart campaign causes Marketo to execute automated marketing workflows (emails, data changes, scoring, etc.) against specific leads. This is an external operation trigger whose effects depend on arguments (which campaign, which leads). Effects may include sending emails, changing lead data, or enrolling leads in nurture tracks — not purely a write or read action, but execution of a campaign pipeline.
From the tool's definition 'Request a smart campaign for specific leads' — triggers execution of a smart campaign against targeted lead records

The rule that runs request_campaign safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Marketo MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For request_campaign, this is the rule to start with:
request_campaign stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Marketo MCP Server, apply this rule, and every request_campaign call is checked against it from then on.
