  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why cdp_create_entity is rated Medium

This tool creates new data records in a Customer Data Platform resource, which is a reversible write operation. The severity is high because creating arbitrary entities in a CDP system could introduce malicious data, compromise data integrity, or trigger downstream automated processes that depend on valid entity data. However, it is not destructive (reversible), not financial, and not execute (does not run code).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'cdp_create_entity' and description states 'Create a new entity in a DW resource.' The verb 'create' and the capability to add new entities indicates data modification."

## Use case

AI agents use cdp_create_entity to create or update resources in CDP MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CDP MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
