AI agents use create_cart to create or modify resources in Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_cart repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so create_cart only ever does what you allow.

What does the create_cart tool do? +

Create a new shopping cart on Kifly. For network (cross-seller) tokens you MUST pass seller_handle — each cart is bound to exactly one seller. Get the handle from search_products results (every item carries kifly:seller.handle) or get_seller. Seller-scoped tokens may omit the handle — their own seller is implicit. Returns a cart_id to use with add_to_cart and checkout.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_cart? +

Register the Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_cart: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_cart? +

create_cart is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_cart? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_cart 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.

How do I block create_cart completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_cart. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_cart? +

create_cart is provided by the Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments MCP server (https://kifly.ai/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Kifly — Agentic Commerce & Payments tool call.
