Why deploy_tokens_create is rated Medium
This tool creates deploy tokens, which are credentials used to authenticate deployments. While the action itself is a Write (creating a new resource), the blast radius is high because deploy tokens can grant significant access to deployment pipelines and infrastructure. Misuse could allow an attacker to deploy malicious code or gain unauthorized access to systems.
From the tool's definition deploy_tokens_create — 'create' indicates creation of a new deploy token; 'deploy-tokens.create through the Appaloft application operation catalog'

The rule that runs deploy_tokens_create safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Appaloft, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deploy_tokens_create, this is the rule to start with:
deploy_tokens_create 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 Appaloft, apply this rule, and every deploy_tokens_create call is checked against it from then on.
