What mongosh-eval does on Make

AI agents invoke mongosh-eval to trigger actions in Make. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why mongosh-eval needs a policy

mongosh-eval executes arbitrary MongoDB shell expressions, which can include any MongoDB operation including reads, writes, deletes, and administrative commands. The blast radius is high because a misused expression could drop collections, delete data, exfiltrate data, or modify database configuration.

From the tool's definition 'Evaluates a MongoDB expression via mongosh' - this runs arbitrary MongoDB shell commands/expressions

How to control mongosh-eval

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mongosh-eval": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mongosh-eval_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

mongosh-eval stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Make — 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 mongosh-eval? +

Register the Make MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mongosh-eval: 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 Make. Nothing to install.

What risk level is mongosh-eval? +

mongosh-eval is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit mongosh-eval? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mongosh-eval 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 mongosh-eval completely? +

What MCP server provides mongosh-eval? +

mongosh-eval is provided by the Make MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Make tool call.

Start from Make, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
