Why create_message_template_folder needs a policy

This tool creates a new folder for message templates, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies data by adding a new organizational structure within Frontapp's message template system, but does not execute external code, destroy data, or move money. The blast radius is minimal—at worst, an AI agent could create unused template folders, which can be deleted without permanent impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_message_template_folder' and description 'Create a new message template folder' indicate creation of a new organizational resource.

POLICY

How to control create_message_template_folder

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Frontapp MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_message_template_folder:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_message_template_folder": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_message_template_folder_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_message_template_folder 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.
