Medium Risk

create_policy

Create a new policy with specific storage and compression settings

Accepts file system path (saveTo.linux.path); Handles credentials or secrets (compression.encryption.password); High parameter count (30 properties)

Part of the Binalyze AIR MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

binalyze/air-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use create_policy to create or modify resources in Binalyze AIR MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_policy repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Binalyze AIR MCP Server.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the create_policy tool do? +

Create a new policy with specific storage and compression settings. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Binalyze AIR MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_policy? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_policy. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Binalyze AIR MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is create_policy? +

create_policy is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_policy? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_policy rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block create_policy completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for create_policy. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_policy? +

create_policy is provided by the Binalyze AIR MCP Server MCP server (binalyze/air-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
