What create_contact does on AirMCP
AI agents use create_contact to create or update resources in AirMCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AirMCP environment.
Why create_contact is rated Medium
Creating a contact is a write operation that adds data to the system. While reversible and not inherently dangerous, it modifies user data and could be misused to spam contact lists or inject false identities. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to contact pollution rather than financial loss or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new contact' — this creates new data in the Contacts database. The parameters (name, email, phone, organization) are stored persistently. This is reversible (contacts can be deleted), so it is Write rather than Destructive.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_contact safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_contact, this is the rule to start with:
create_contact 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 AirMCP, apply this rule, and every create_contact call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_contact
Create a new contact with name and optional email, phone, organization. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AirMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Air MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_contact: 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 AirMCP. Nothing to install.
create_contact 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_contact 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_contact. 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_contact is provided by the Air MCP server (airmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
