WHAT IT DOES

What create_channel does on AdButler

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Channel name
`priority`	string	—	Serving priority (default: standard)
`use_share_of_voice`	boolean	—	Whether to use share of voice as serving strategy (false = use weight)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_channel is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a channel entity) in the AdButler system. Creation is reversible—channels can be archived or deleted—so it does not qualify as Destructive. It performs no financial transactions, code execution, or external operations, making Write the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_channel' and description 'Create a new channel' indicate data creation without deletion or destruction.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_channel safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AdButler, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_channel, this is the rule to start with:

create_channel Rate-limited

create_channel 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 AdButler, apply this rule, and every create_channel call is checked against it from then on.
