# create_rate_limit Create a request or token throttle with conditions, group_by, type, unit, and value. conditions and group_by are required; use usage limits when you need a cumulative budget instead. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_rate_limit`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/create-rate-limit ## Facts - Tool: `create_rate_limit` - Server: Portkey Admin (`codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "create_rate_limit", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_rate_limit is rated Medium This tool creates rate limit configurations that modify system behavior by adding new throttling rules. It is a Write operation because it creates/establishes new configuration data. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could disrupt service availability or impose overly restrictive limits, but the changes are reversible (rate limits can be updated or deleted). From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a request or token throttle' — the verb 'Create' and the action of establishing throttling rules indicate data modification without irreversible deletion or financial impact." ## Use case AI agents use create_rate_limit 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Portkey Admin: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "create_rate_limit": { "limits": [ { "counter": "create_rate_limit_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Portkey Admin (155) - `cancel_log_export` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/cancel-log-export.md - `delete_api_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-api-key.md - `delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-collection.md - `delete_config` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-config.md - `delete_guardrail` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-guardrail.md - `delete_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration.md - `delete_integration_model` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration-model.md - `delete_mcp_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-integration.md - `delete_mcp_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-server.md - `delete_prompt` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt.md - `delete_prompt_label` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-label.md - `delete_prompt_partial` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-partial.md - `delete_provider` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-provider.md - `delete_rate_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-rate-limit.md - `delete_secret_reference` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-secret-reference.md - `delete_usage_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-usage-limit.md - `delete_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user.md - `delete_user_invite` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user-invite.md - `delete_virtual_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-virtual-key.md - `delete_workspace` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-workspace.md - `remove_workspace_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/remove-workspace-member.md - `run_prompt_completion` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/run-prompt-completion.md - `start_log_export` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/start-log-export.md - `test_mcp_server` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/test-mcp-server.md - `download_log_export` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/download-log-export.md - `get_analytics_group_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-metadata.md - `get_analytics_group_models` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-models.md - `get_analytics_group_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-users.md - `get_api_key` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-api-key.md - `get_cache_hit_latency` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-cache-hit-latency.md - …and 125 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
