WHAT IT DOES

What create_flow_node does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents use create_flow_node 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.

RISK

Why create_flow_node is rated Medium

This tool creates (adds) a bot node to a flow, which is a Write operation—it modifies the flow structure reversibly without deleting data or executing arbitrary code. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could affect message routing or automation behavior across a channel, but the change is not destructive and can be undone by removing the node.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a bot as a node in a flow', which creates a new node structure within an existing flow automation. This is a reversible modification operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_flow_node 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_flow_node, this is the rule to start with:

create_flow_node Rate-limited

create_flow_node 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.
