What close_cursor does on Mcpg
AI agents use close_cursor to create or update resources in Mcpg, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcpg environment.
Why close_cursor is rated Medium
An AI agent can call close_cursor faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Mcpg by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs close_cursor safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcpg, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For close_cursor, this is the rule to start with:
close_cursor 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcpg, apply this rule, and every close_cursor call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about close_cursor
close_cursor is a write tool on the Mcpg MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcpg MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcpg MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for close_cursor: 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 Mcpg. Nothing to install.
close_cursor 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 close_cursor 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 close_cursor. 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.
close_cursor is provided by the Mcpg MCP server (pypi:mcpg). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
