THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_warehouse needs a policy

This tool creates a new warehouse record in the fulfillment system. While this is a write operation that adds data, it is not irreversible (warehouses can be deactivated/deleted), not financial in nature, and does not execute arbitrary code. The severity is medium because misuse could create spurious warehouse entries affecting logistics operations, but the impact is containable and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_warehouse' and description 'Register a new warehouse (fulfillment center)' indicate the tool creates and registers a new entity in the system, which is a reversible data modification operation.

POLICY

How to control create_warehouse

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_warehouse:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_warehouse": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_warehouse_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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