WHAT IT DOES

What create_datahub_dataset does on Doit

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	The name of the dataset (required). Allowed characters: alphanumeric (0-9,a-z,A-Z), underscore (_), dash (-), and spaces between words.
`description`	string	—	An optional description for the dataset.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_datahub_dataset is rated Medium

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

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_datahub_dataset safely

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

create_datahub_dataset Rate-limited

create_datahub_dataset 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_datahub_dataset": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_datahub_dataset_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Doit, apply this rule, and every create_datahub_dataset call is checked against it from then on.
