WHAT IT DOES

What create_track does on Mcp Dev

AI agents use create_track to create or update resources in Mcp Dev, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Dev environment.

RISK

Why create_track is rated Medium

This tool creates new files and directories in the codebase structure (a track with multiple files and metadata). This is a reversible Write operation: the created artifacts can be deleted.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Create[s] a new conductor track directory with plan.md, index.md, and metadata.json.' The verb 'create' and the explicit creation of file artifacts demonstrate a Write operation that adds new data to the codebase.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_track safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Dev, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_track, this is the rule to start with:

create_track Rate-limited

create_track 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Dev, apply this rule, and every create_track call is checked against it from then on.
