What create_note does on Iconnect
AI agents use create_note 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_note is rated Medium
This tool creates new data (a note) with an optional folder destination. Creation is a Write operation because it is reversible—notes can be subsequently modified or deleted. The severity is low because note creation has minimal blast radius; an AI agent misusing this would create unwanted notes but cause no financial loss, data destruction, or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new note' which is a create operation that modifies data (adds a new note) in a reversible manner. Notes can be edited or deleted after creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_note 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_note, this is the rule to start with:
create_note 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_note call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_note
Create a new note with HTML body. The first line of the body becomes the note title automatically. Optionally specify a target folder. 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_note: 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_note 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_note 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_note. 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_note 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.
