# fork_environment Create a fork of an environment in a workspace Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `fork_environment`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/fork-environment ## Facts - Tool: `fork_environment` - Server: Postman (`delano/postman-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/delano/postman-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium 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": "fork_environment", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why fork_environment is rated Medium This tool creates a new, independent copy of an environment within a workspace. This is a reversible Write operation (the fork can be deleted). It has no destructive effects, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not move money. The blast radius is minimal—a forked environment is isolated and can be easily removed. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'fork_environment' and description 'Create a fork of an environment in a workspace' indicate creation of a new resource (environment fork) in Postman." ## Use case AI agents use fork_environment to create or update resources in Postman, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Postman environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Postman: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "fork_environment": { "limits": [ { "counter": "fork_environment_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Postman (97) - `delete_api` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api.md - `delete_api_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api-comment.md - `delete_api_version` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-api-version.md - `delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection.md - `delete_collection_access_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-access-key.md - `delete_collection_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-folder.md - `delete_collection_request` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-request.md - `delete_collection_response` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-collection-response.md - `delete_environment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-environment.md - `delete_mock` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-mock.md - `delete_monitor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-monitor.md - `delete_schema_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-schema-file.md - `delete_server_response` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/delete-server-response.md - `remove_pan_element` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/remove-pan-element.md - `create_webhook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/create-webhook.md - `get_accounts` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-accounts.md - `get_api` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api.md - `get_api_collection` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-collection.md - `get_api_comments` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-comments.md - `get_api_schema` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-schema.md - `get_api_schema_files` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-schema-files.md - `get_api_tags` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-tags.md - `get_api_version` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-version.md - `get_api_versions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-api-versions.md - `get_authenticated_user` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-authenticated-user.md - `get_collection` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection.md - `get_collection_folder` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-folder.md - `get_collection_forks` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-forks.md - `get_collection_request` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-request.md - `get_collection_response` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server/get-collection-response.md - …and 67 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/delano-postman-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
