WHAT IT DOES

What create_prompt does on Portkey Admin

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

RISK

Why create_prompt is rated Medium

This tool creates new prompt templates in the Portkey admin system, which is a reversible data modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or perform destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Create a new prompt template and initial version' and 'creates a new version immediately', indicating it performs create operations that modify data in the Portkey system.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_prompt safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Portkey Admin, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_prompt, this is the rule to start with:

create_prompt Rate-limited

create_prompt 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.

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Portkey Admin, apply this rule, and every create_prompt call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_prompt

What does the create_prompt tool do? +

Create a new prompt template and initial version. Use this for first-time setup; use migrate_prompt for idempotent CI/CD flows. Accepts plain text or structured chat messages, creates a new version immediately, and returns the prompt id, slug, and version id. For multi-message chat prompts pass messages (preferred) or a JSON-encoded array as string. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Portkey Admin 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_prompt? +

Register the Portkey Admin MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_prompt: 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 Portkey Admin. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_prompt? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_prompt? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_prompt 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.

How do I block create_prompt completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_prompt. 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_prompt? +

create_prompt is provided by the Portkey Admin MCP server (codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
