Create a store (physical location or POS group)
AI agents use create_store 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.
This tool creates new store records (physical locations or POS groups), which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies system state and could have operational impact if misused by an agent (e.g., creating unauthorized stores in a payment system), it does not move money (Financial), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or irreversibly destroy data (Destructive).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_store' and description states 'Create a store (physical location or POS group)', indicating data creation without irreversible deletion.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_store gives an agent:
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_store:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_store": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_store_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_store 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.

Create a store (physical location or POS group). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_store: 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.
create_store 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 create_store 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 create_store. 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.
create_store 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.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
