# create_workflow Create a new empty workflow with a name and optional description. The workflow will be private by default. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_workflow`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server/create-workflow ## Facts - Tool: `create_workflow` - Server: FlowDot MCP Server (`flowdot-llc/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/flowdot-llc/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": "create_workflow", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_workflow is rated Medium Creating a new workflow is a write operation that reversibly adds data to the FlowDot platform. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it creates new resources, the action is reversible (workflows can be deleted), placing it firmly in the Write category rather than Execute. From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Create a new empty workflow' with a name and optional description, which is a create action that modifies data by adding a new workflow to the system." ## Use case AI agents use create_workflow to create or update resources in FlowDot MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FlowDot MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
