What create_webhook does on Shopmonkey MCP Server
AI agents use create_webhook to create or update resources in Shopmonkey MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Shopmonkey MCP Server environment.
Why create_webhook is rated Medium
Creating a webhook is a reversible write operation that modifies system configuration by adding a new resource. However, it carries high severity because webhooks can be configured to forward sensitive business data (work orders, customer info, payments) to external endpoints.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Create a new webhook' and 'register Make.com or other endpoint URLs that receive Shopmonkey event notifications.' This is a data modification operation that establishes new webhook integrations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_webhook safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Shopmonkey MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_webhook, this is the rule to start with:
create_webhook 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 Shopmonkey MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_webhook call is checked against it from then on.
