What accept_invitation does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents use accept_invitation to create or update resources in Webcake Storefront, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Webcake Storefront environment.
Why accept_invitation is rated Medium
Accepting an invitation is a Write operation that creates a new access/membership record for a site. It is reversible (the user could be removed later), but grants access to a site, which could have meaningful security implications if misused. No data is deleted, no code is executed, and no financial transaction occurs.
From the tool's definition Accept a site invitation — 'accept' implies confirming/activating an invitation, creating a membership or access relationship
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs accept_invitation safely

accept_invitation 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 Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every accept_invitation call is checked against it from then on.
