Why invite_employee is rated Medium

This tool creates a new invitation record and sends an email, which are reversible write operations (the invitation can be revoked or the employee removed). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or retrieve sensitive information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'invite_employee' and description 'Invite an employee to the site by email' indicate creation of a new employee access record.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs invite_employee safely

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

invite_employee Rate-limited

invite_employee 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.
