What create_feed does on Mcp Ap2

AI agents use create_feed to create or update resources in Mcp Ap2 — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ap2 environment.

Why create_feed needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies merchant data (product listings, inventory) through feed submission. While it affects live catalog data, feed submission is reversible through subsequent feed corrections or deletions, making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool 'create_feed' submits feeds to SP-API for product data, inventory availability, and listings. This creates or modifies data in a merchant's catalog/inventory system in a reversible manner.

How to control create_feed

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_feed:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_feed": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_feed_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_feed 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on create_feed? +

Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_feed: 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 Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_feed? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_feed? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_feed 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.

How do I block create_feed completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_feed. 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 create_feed? +

create_feed is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
