What create_wiki_page does on Moodle
AI agents use create_wiki_page to create or update resources in Moodle, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Moodle environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
embed | array | — | Absolute local files to embed in the content (HTML pages), which names each by its file name: <img src="shot.png"> |
title | string | Yes | |
wikiId | integer | Yes | The wiki's id (course module id), as get_course_structure gives it |
content | string | Yes | No aliases in it |
groupId | integer | — | A group's subwiki, in a wiki with groups; the person's own when missing |
participant | string | — | A participant's subwiki in an individual wiki, by alias when the server pseudonymizes |
participantId | integer | — | Or by user id, when the server shows names |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why create_wiki_page is rated Medium
An AI agent can call create_wiki_page faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Moodle by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Risk signalsAccepts raw HTML/template content (content)
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_wiki_page safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Moodle, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_wiki_page, this is the rule to start with:
create_wiki_page 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 Moodle, apply this rule, and every create_wiki_page call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_wiki_page
Create a page in a wiki's subwiki as the person, with its content (HTML in an HTML wiki, Moodle's default, or the wiki's markup; [[Title]] links to another page): the person's subwiki unless groupId or participant choose another. A subwiki's first page must have the wiki's first page title. Returns the page. Others in the course read it: confirm with the person first. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Moodle MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
create_wiki_page accepts 7 parameters: embed, title, wikiId, content, groupId, participant, participantId. Required: title, wikiId, content. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

create_wiki_page 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_wiki_page 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_wiki_page. 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_wiki_page is provided by the Moodle MCP server (@falkenslab/moodle-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
