What Create_User does on Files Com
AI agents use Create_User to create or update resources in Files Com, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Files Com environment.
Why Create_User is rated Medium
Creating a user account is a reversible write operation that modifies the system's user database. While not immediately destructive, user creation can grant access permissions and represent a significant change to the Files.com environment. This is categorized as Write rather than Execute because the operation is a data creation action, not arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'Create_User' and description states 'Create User'. The sibling tools context (Create_Bundle, Create_Folder, Create_Group, Create_Permission) and server purpose ('controlled access to real-world operations inside your Files.com environment')…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs Create_User safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Files Com, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For Create_User, this is the rule to start with:
Create_User 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 Files Com, apply this rule, and every Create_User call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about Create_User
Create_User is a write tool on the Files Com MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Files Com MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Files Com MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for Create_User: 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 Files Com. Nothing to install.
Create_User 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 Create_User 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 Create_User. 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.
Create_User is provided by the Files Com MCP server (files-com-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
