MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Azure MCP Server tools

Execute · High run-azure-code This tool executes code against Azure services, which is inherently an Execute category action. Write · Medium create-resource-group This tool creates a new Azure resource group, which is a reversible write operation. Write · Medium select-tenant Selecting a tenant and subscription changes the active context/session state for subsequent Azure operations.

3 of Azure MCP Server's 9 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Azure MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Azure MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "create-resource-group": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create-resource-group_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get-resource-details": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get-resource-details_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Azure MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
