AI agents use edit_draft to create or update resources in Frontapp MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Frontapp MCP Server environment.
This is a Write operation as defined in the classification scheme: it creates or modifies data reversibly. The tool modifies a draft (not yet sent), so the changes are reversible.
From the tool's definition The tool is named 'edit_draft' and described as 'Edit an existing draft'. This action modifies existing data (a draft message) reversibly—edits can be undone or overwritten.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access edit_draft gives an agent:
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 edit_draft:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"edit_draft": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "edit_draft_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}edit_draft 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Edit an existing draft. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Frontapp MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Frontapp MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for edit_draft: 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 Frontapp MCP Server. Nothing to install.
edit_draft 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 edit_draft 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 edit_draft. 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.
edit_draft is provided by the Frontapp MCP Server MCP server (zqushair/frontapp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Frontapp MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
