Why create_product is rated Medium
This tool creates new data (a product) but does so in a reversible manner — the product starts as a DRAFT, allowing merchant review before activation, and can presumably be deleted or modified. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.
From the tool's definition Creates a new shop product in DRAFT status. The description explicitly states 'Create a new shop product' which is a write operation that adds new data to the system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_product safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FavCRM, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_product, this is the rule to start with:
create_product 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 FavCRM, apply this rule, and every create_product call is checked against it from then on.
