What create_folder does on Iconnect
AI agents use create_folder 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_folder is rated Medium
This tool creates a new organizational structure (folder) in Apple Notes, which is a reversible operation. It modifies the user's note organization by adding data, fitting the Write category. Severity is low because creating a folder in Notes has minimal blast radius—the worst case is organizational clutter or accidental folder creation, both easily remediated by deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new folder' and characterizes it as 'a non-destructive write.' The action creates new data (folder) in Apple Notes without irreversibly deleting or overwriting existing data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_folder 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_folder, this is the rule to start with:
create_folder 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_folder call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_folder
Create a new folder in Apple Notes — a non-destructive write. Optionally specify which account to create it in. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_folder: 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 Iconnect. Nothing to install.
create_folder 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_folder 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_folder. 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_folder is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
