# create_account A write tool on the CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_account`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/aaearon-mcp-privilege-cloud/create-account ## Facts - Tool: `create_account` - 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": "create_account", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_account is rated Medium This tool creates new privileged accounts in a PAM system. Account creation is a reversible Write operation (accounts can be deleted), but has high severity due to the privileged access management context—newly created accounts could grant unauthorized access to critical systems. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the tool name and server context strongly indicate account creation functionality. From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'create_account' in a privilege management system (CyberArk Privilege Cloud) with empty description. Context shows sibling tools like 'add_safe', 'add_safe_member', 'change_account_password' which are clearly Write operations." ## Use case AI agents use create_account 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**.
