What create-pending-auth does on Frontmcp
AI agents use create-pending-auth to create or update resources in Frontmcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Frontmcp environment.
Why create-pending-auth is rated Medium
This tool creates a new authentication request record, which modifies application state by adding a pending auth entry. However, it is reversible (pending requests can be cancelled or expire), does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or transfer funds.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-pending-auth' and description 'Create a pending incremental auth request' indicate the tool creates/writes a new authentication request object. The verb 'Create' and 'pending' state confirm write semantics.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create-pending-auth safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Frontmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create-pending-auth, this is the rule to start with:
create-pending-auth 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 Frontmcp, apply this rule, and every create-pending-auth call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create-pending-auth
Create a pending incremental auth request. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Frontmcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Front MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create-pending-auth: 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 Frontmcp. Nothing to install.
create-pending-auth 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-pending-auth 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-pending-auth. 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-pending-auth is provided by the Front MCP server (agentfront/frontmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
