muteUser · Xdevplatform/x MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What muteUser does on Xdevplatform/xmcp

AI agents use muteUser to create or update resources in Xdevplatform/xmcp — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Xdevplatform/xmcp environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why muteUser needs a policy

Muting a user modifies the authenticated user's timeline/relationship settings by suppressing another user's content. This is a reversible write operation (users can be unmuted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could suppress legitimate content but is not irreversible or financially impactful.

Verdict

muteUser Rate-limited

muteUser 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.

FAQ

Questions about muteUser

What does the muteUser tool do? +

Mute a user to hide their posts from the authenticated user timeline. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Xdevplatform/xmcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on muteUser? +

Register the Xdevplatform/x MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for muteUser: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Xdevplatform/xmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is muteUser? +

muteUser is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit muteUser? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the muteUser 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.

How do I block muteUser completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for muteUser. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides muteUser? +
