WHAT IT DOES

What create_project_snapshot does on Cutpilot

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

RISK

Why create_project_snapshot is rated Medium

An AI agent can call create_project_snapshot faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Cutpilot by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_project_snapshot safely

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

create_project_snapshot Rate-limited

create_project_snapshot 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 Cutpilot, apply this rule, and every create_project_snapshot call is checked against it from then on.
