Why identity_create_oauth2_provider needs a policy

This tool creates a new OAuth2 provider, which is a reversible write operation that modifies identity/authentication infrastructure. While it affects security-critical systems (OAuth2 provider registration), the action itself is not destructive and can be reconfigured or deleted. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name alone clearly indicates a create/write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_create_oauth2_provider' indicates creation of an OAuth2 provider resource. The verb 'create' signifies a write operation that establishes a new identity provider configuration.

POLICY

How to control identity_create_oauth2_provider

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for identity_create_oauth2_provider:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "identity_create_oauth2_provider": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "identity_create_oauth2_provider_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

identity_create_oauth2_provider 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
