What create_user does on Thinkific MCP Server

Why create_user is rated Medium
This tool creates new user accounts in the Thinkific system, which is a write operation that modifies the platform's user database. While creation is reversible (accounts can be deleted), it could be misused to create unauthorized accounts, spam the system, or impersonate users.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_user' and description states it will 'Create a new user/student on the Thinkific site.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation that is reversible through user deletion or modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_user 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_user, this is the rule to start with:
create_user 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_user call is checked against it from then on.
