What create_group does on Thinkific MCP Server
AI agents use create_group to create or update resources in Thinkific MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Thinkific MCP Server environment.
Why create_group is rated Medium
This tool creates a new resource (group) in the Thinkific system, which is a write operation that modifies platform state. It is not read-only (no data retrieval), not destructive (the group can be deleted), not financial (no money movement), and does not execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_group' and description 'Create a new group on the Thinkific site' indicate data creation with reversible effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_group safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Thinkific MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_group, this is the rule to start with:
create_group 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 Thinkific MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_group call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_group 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.
