MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous MCP Maximo Server tools

Write · High create_asset Asset creation in an EAM system is a Write operation—it creates new data records that can be modified or deleted later. Write · High create_work_order Creating a work order is a reversible write operation that modifies enterprise data state—it adds a new record to the system. Write · High issue_inventory The term 'issue' in inventory systems typically means allocating, dispensing, or removing inventory from stock—a reversible Write operation. Write · High unlock_user_account This tool modifies user account state by resetting lock status and failed login count — a reversible write operation.

6 of MCP Maximo Server's 14 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP Maximo Server

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "create_asset": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "create_asset_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_asset": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_asset_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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