# create_prediction

Create a new prediction using either a model version (for community models) or model name (for official models)

## Facts

- Tool: `create_prediction`
- Server: Replicate MCP Server (`deepfates/mcp-replicate`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/deepfates-mcp-replicate.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/deepfates/mcp-replicate
- Risk category: Execute (High 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_prediction",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_prediction is rated High

Creating a prediction executes an AI model on external compute infrastructure. This is an Execute action because it triggers an external operation (model inference) whose effects and resource consumption depend on the arguments provided (model version/name and inputs). Misuse could result in high API costs or unintended model runs at scale.

From the tool's own definition: "'Create a new prediction' - triggers external AI model inference operations on Replicate's infrastructure"

## Use case

AI agents invoke create_prediction to trigger actions in Replicate MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Replicate MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_prediction": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_prediction_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
