unfollowUser · Xdevplatform/x MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What unfollowUser does on Xdevplatform/xmcp

AI agents use unfollowUser 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 unfollowUser needs a policy

Unfollowing a user modifies a social relationship (removes a follow connection) but is reversible — the user can be re-followed. This is a Write action, not Destructive, since no data is permanently deleted. Misuse could harm social relationships or be used for coordinated unfollowing campaigns, giving it medium severity.

Verdict

unfollowUser Rate-limited

unfollowUser 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 unfollowUser

What does the unfollowUser tool do? +

Unfollow a user on behalf of the authenticated user. 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 unfollowUser? +

Register the Xdevplatform/x MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unfollowUser: 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 unfollowUser? +

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

Can I rate-limit unfollowUser? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unfollowUser 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 unfollowUser completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unfollowUser. 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 unfollowUser? +

unfollowUser 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.
