Medium Risk

password_create

Create a new password/login item in a 1Password vault with optional username, URL, tags, and notes.

Handles credentials or secrets (password); Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

Part of the 1password MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@takescake/1password-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use password_create to create or modify resources in 1password. 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 password_create repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach 1password.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the password_create tool do? +

Create a new password/login item in a 1Password vault with optional username, URL, tags, and notes.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the 1password MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on password_create? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for password_create. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the 1password MCP server.

What risk level is password_create? +

password_create is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit password_create? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the password_create rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block password_create completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for password_create. 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.

What MCP server provides password_create? +

password_create is provided by the 1password MCP server (@takescake/1password-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
