AI agents use create-setting to create or modify resources in ConfigCat. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create-setting repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach ConfigCat.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create-setting gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so create-setting only ever does what you allow.

Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.

What does the create-setting tool do? +

Create a new feature flag. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ConfigCat 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-setting? +

Register the ConfigCat MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create-setting: 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 ConfigCat. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create-setting? +

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

Can I rate-limit create-setting? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create-setting 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-setting completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create-setting. 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-setting? +

create-setting is provided by the ConfigCat MCP server (@@configcat/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ConfigCat tool call.
