What unfollowList does on Xdevplatform/xmcp
AI agents use unfollowList 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 unfollowList is rated Medium
Unfollowing a list modifies the user's subscription/follow state but is reversible (the user can re-follow the list). No data is permanently deleted, making this a Write rather than Destructive action. Blast radius is low as it only affects the authenticated user's timeline preferences.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs unfollowList safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Xdevplatform/xmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unfollowList, this is the rule to start with:
unfollowList 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 Xdevplatform/xmcp, apply this rule, and every unfollowList call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about unfollowList
Unfollow a list to stop seeing its posts in the 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.
Register the Xdevplatform/x MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unfollowList: 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.
unfollowList is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unfollowList 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unfollowList. 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.
unfollowList is provided by the Xdevplatform/x MCP server (xdevplatform/xmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
