What create_bot does on instantKOM MCP Server
AI agents use create_bot to create or update resources in instantKOM MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your instantKOM MCP Server environment.
Why create_bot is rated Medium
Creating a new bot is a reversible write operation that modifies platform state but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or incur financial obligations. The severity is medium because a malicious bot could potentially be used for spam, phishing, or other abuse of the platform and its users, but the action itself is not destructive and can be reversed by deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'create_bot' with description 'Create a new bot', which creates a new entity in the instantKOM platform.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_bot safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and instantKOM MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_bot, this is the rule to start with:
create_bot 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 instantKOM MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_bot call is checked against it from then on.
