Why create_channel is rated Medium
This tool creates a new resource (a channel) within the Framesail system, which is a reversible operation. It does not execute external code, delete data, move money, or have destructive side effects. The severity is medium because creating channels could allow an AI agent to proliferate projects or organizational structures, but the impact is limited to the Framesail workspace and can be managed or cleaned up.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new channel' and is characterized as creating 'the container for projects and their reusable styles.' The verb 'Create' combined with establishing a new organizational structure indicates data creation rather than retrieval,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_channel safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Framesail, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_channel, this is the rule to start with:
create_channel 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 Framesail, apply this rule, and every create_channel call is checked against it from then on.
