# add_application A write tool on the CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `add_application`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/add-application ## Facts - Tool: `add_application` - Server: CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server (`aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud.md - Homepage: https://github.com/aaearon/mcp-privilege-cloud - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "add_application", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why add_application is rated Medium The 'add' prefix and parallel structure with other creation tools (add_safe, add_safe_member, create_account) indicate a reversible data creation operation (Write category). Severity is high because adding applications in a PAM system could grant unauthorized access or create security misconfigurations if misused by an AI agent, though it is not irreversible (Destructive) or financial in nature. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_application' suggests creating or registering a new application entity. The empty description limits specificity, but context from sibling tools (add_safe, add_safe_member, create_account) establishes a pattern of Write operations on this PAM…" ## Use case AI agents use add_application to create or update resources in CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "add_application": { "limits": [ { "counter": "add_application_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server (52) - `deactivate_target_platform` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/deactivate-target-platform.md - `delete_account` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-account.md - `delete_application` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-application.md - `delete_application_auth_method` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-application-auth-method.md - `delete_safe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-safe.md - `delete_target_platform` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/delete-target-platform.md - `remove_safe_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/remove-safe-member.md - `import_platform_package` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/import-platform-package.md - `reconcile_account_password` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/reconcile-account-password.md - `verify_account_password` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/verify-account-password.md - `export_platform` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/export-platform.md - `analyze_account_distribution` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/analyze-account-distribution.md - `count_accounts_by_criteria` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/count-accounts-by-criteria.md - `count_sessions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/count-sessions.md - `filter_accounts_by_environment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-environment.md - `filter_accounts_by_management_status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-management-status.md - `filter_accounts_by_platform_group` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/filter-accounts-by-platform-group.md - `get_account_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-account-details.md - `get_application_auth_method_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-application-auth-method-details.md - `get_application_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-application-details.md - `get_applications_stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-applications-stats.md - `get_platform_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-platform-details.md - `get_platform_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-platform-statistics.md - `get_safe_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-safe-details.md - `get_safe_member_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-safe-member-details.md - `get_session_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-session-details.md - `get_session_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-session-statistics.md - `get_target_platform_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/get-target-platform-statistics.md - `group_accounts_by_platform` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/group-accounts-by-platform.md - `group_accounts_by_safe` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/group-accounts-by-safe.md - …and 22 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
