AI agents use wechat_publish to create or update resources in WeChat Official Account MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your WeChat Official Account MCP environment.
Publishing articles to a WeChat Official Account is a reversible Write operation—content can be edited, unpublished, or deleted after creation. However, the severity is high because publishing to a public social media account affects audience perception, brand reputation, and information dissemination at scale.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WeChat Official Account MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for wechat_publish:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"wechat_publish": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "wechat_publish_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}wechat_publish 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.
