Why init_asset_upload needs a policy

Asset upload is a write operation that creates new assets in the CMS (reversible - assets can be deleted). Classified as Write rather than Execute because uploading is a content management primitive action, not arbitrary command execution. Severity is medium because uncontrolled uploads could consume storage or introduce unwanted assets, but effects are reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'init_asset_upload' which indicates initiation of an asset upload process. Given context of Storyblok CMS for content management, this creates/modifies data (uploads assets). Description is empty, limiting direct confirmation.

How to control init_asset_upload

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Storyblok MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for init_asset_upload:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "init_asset_upload": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "init_asset_upload_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

init_asset_upload 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Storyblok MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
