What create_album does on Iconnect
AI agents use create_album to create or update resources in Iconnect, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconnect environment.
Why create_album is rated Medium
This tool creates (writes) a new album in the Photos application. It is reversible — albums can be deleted — so it does not rise to Destructive. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could create many albums, clutter the library, or organize photos in unintended ways, but the core data (photos themselves) remain intact and recoverable.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_album' and description states 'Create a new photo album' — explicitly a create/write operation that adds new data to the Photos library.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_album safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_album, this is the rule to start with:
create_album 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 Iconnect, apply this rule, and every create_album call is checked against it from then on.
