What create_cloud_server does on 20i MCP Server
AI agents use create_cloud_server to create or update resources in 20i MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 20i MCP Server environment.
Why create_cloud_server is rated Medium
This tool provisions a new cloud server, which is a Write/create operation. It is reversible in principle (servers can be deleted), so it does not qualify as Destructive. However, the blast radius is high because spinning up cloud servers can incur significant costs and resource consumption if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition "Create a new cloud server" — creates a new infrastructure resource

The rule that runs create_cloud_server safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_cloud_server, this is the rule to start with:
create_cloud_server 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 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_cloud_server call is checked against it from then on.
