WHAT IT DOES

What pubsub.create-topic does on Mcp

AI agents use pubsub.create-topic to create or update resources in Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp environment.

RISK

Why pubsub.create-topic is rated Medium

The tool creates a new resource (a pubsub topic) owned by the user's wallet. This is a Write operation because it creates data reversibly—topics can typically be deleted or modified. Severity is medium because scope is limited to the caller's wallet (no cross-user blast radius), but misconfiguration could lead to unintended topic proliferation or disruption of messaging patterns.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'create a topic', which is a reversible creation operation that modifies state within the caller's wallet scope.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pubsub.create-topic safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pubsub.create-topic, this is the rule to start with:

pubsub.create-topic Rate-limited

pubsub.create-topic 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.
