RISK

Why create_share is rated Medium

This tool creates a new share, which is a reversible modification of data/configuration state in Nextcloud. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or bypass access controls on its own. However, creating shares can have security implications if the shared resource or visibility settings are not carefully controlled by the invoking agent, warranting a medium severity rating.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_share' and description states 'Create a file or folder share in Nextcloud'. The word 'Create' indicates the tool modifies state by adding a new share, which is reversible (shares can be deleted).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_share safely

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

create_share Rate-limited

create_share 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.
