WHAT IT DOES

What create_widget does on instantKOM MCP Server

AI agents use create_widget 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_widget is rated Medium

The tool creates a new widget resource, which is a data creation action. This falls under Write category as it modifies the platform state reversibly (widgets can typically be deleted or modified). Severity is medium because uncontrolled widget creation could degrade platform performance or create unwanted platform clutter, but lacks the blast radius of destructive operations or code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_widget' and description 'Create a new widget' indicate creation of new data/resource within the instantKOM platform. This is a reversible write operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_widget 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_widget, this is the rule to start with:

create_widget Rate-limited

create_widget 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.

      ]
    }

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect instantKOM MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_widget call is checked against it from then on.
