What dataset_create_new does on Kaggle-MCP
AI agents use dataset_create_new to create or update resources in Kaggle-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kaggle-MCP environment.
Why dataset_create_new is rated Medium
The tool creates new datasets on Kaggle, a data-sharing platform. While dataset creation is reversible (datasets can be deleted), it constitutes a Write operation that modifies the platform state. High severity reflects that an AI agent could create numerous datasets or upload sensitive data without oversight.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'dataset_create_new' indicates creation of a new dataset. The empty description prevents confirmation of exact scope, but the name suggests irreversible creation of data artifacts on Kaggle.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dataset_create_new safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kaggle-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dataset_create_new, this is the rule to start with:
dataset_create_new 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 Kaggle-MCP, apply this rule, and every dataset_create_new call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about dataset_create_new
dataset_create_new is a write tool on the Kaggle MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Kaggle-MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Kaggle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for dataset_create_new: 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 Kaggle-MCP. Nothing to install.
dataset_create_new 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 dataset_create_new 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 dataset_create_new. 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.
dataset_create_new is provided by the Kaggle MCP server (54yyyu/kaggle-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
