AI agents use ava_create_api_key to create or modify resources in Ava Genesis. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call ava_create_api_key repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Ava Genesis.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Create a new Ava Genesis API key. Use this once to obtain your ava_live_... key before calling any other tool. The raw key is returned only once in the response — store it securely, it cannot be retrieved again. Each key tracks its own deployment history and rate limits independently. This tool requires no existing API key — it is the bootstrap step for new agents.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ava Genesis MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ava Genesis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ava_create_api_key: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ava Genesis. Nothing to install.
ava_create_api_key is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ava_create_api_key rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ava_create_api_key. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ava_create_api_key is provided by the Ava Genesis MCP server (https://avagenesis.com/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
