What create_workspace_directory does on PromptX
AI agents use create_workspace_directory to create or update resources in PromptX, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PromptX environment.
Why create_workspace_directory is rated Medium
This tool creates new directory structures within a workspace, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the workspace filesystem state but does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or involve financial operations (Financial).
From the tool's definition Tool description: '在工作区中创建目录（支持递归创建）' (Create directories in workspace, supports recursive creation). The verb 'create' and the action of directory creation indicate data/state modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_workspace_directory safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and PromptX, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_workspace_directory, this is the rule to start with:
create_workspace_directory 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 PromptX, apply this rule, and every create_workspace_directory call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_workspace_directory
在工作区中创建目录（支持递归创建）。 路径必须在已绑定的工作区范围内。. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PromptX MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the PromptX MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_workspace_directory: 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 PromptX. Nothing to install.
create_workspace_directory 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_workspace_directory 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_workspace_directory. 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_workspace_directory is provided by the PromptX MCP server (deepractice/promptx). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
