AI agents use PostV1InstancesApiKeys to create or update resources in BlindPay MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your BlindPay MCP Server environment.
Creating API keys is a Write operation that generates new credentials for authentication and authorization. While reversible (keys can be deleted), the creation of API keys in a payment infrastructure context poses high severity risk because compromised keys grant access to financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'PostV1InstancesApiKeys' and description 'Create Api Key' indicate creation of API credentials. The POST operation creates a new API key resource.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access PostV1InstancesApiKeys gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and BlindPay MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for PostV1InstancesApiKeys:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"PostV1InstancesApiKeys": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "postv1instancesapikeys_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}PostV1InstancesApiKeys 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.

Create Api Key. It is categorised as a Write tool in the BlindPay MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the BlindPay MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for PostV1InstancesApiKeys: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches BlindPay MCP Server. Nothing to install.
PostV1InstancesApiKeys is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the PostV1InstancesApiKeys rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for PostV1InstancesApiKeys. 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.
PostV1InstancesApiKeys is provided by the BlindPay MCP Server MCP server (blindpaylabs/blindpay-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from BlindPay MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
