Generate a new API key for your agent. The full plaintext key (m2m_...) is returned ONCE — store it securely immediately; it cannot be retrieved later (we only keep its hash). Use keyName to identify the key's purpose (e.g. 'production', 'staging'). Multiple keys can be active simultaneously for ...

AI agents use create_api_key to create or modify resources in Molt2Meet. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_api_key repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Molt2Meet.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so create_api_key only ever does what you allow.

What does the create_api_key tool do? +

Generate a new API key for your agent. The full plaintext key (m2m_...) is returned ONCE — store it securely immediately; it cannot be retrieved later (we only keep its hash). Use keyName to identify the key's purpose (e.g. 'production', 'staging'). Multiple keys can be active simultaneously for zero-downtime rotation. Requires: an existing API key from register_agent. Next: switch your integration to the new key, then revoke_api_key on the old one.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Molt2Meet MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_api_key? +

Register the Molt2Meet MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_api_key: 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 Molt2Meet. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_api_key? +

create_api_key is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_api_key? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_api_key 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 create_api_key completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_api_key. 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.

What MCP server provides create_api_key? +

create_api_key is provided by the Molt2Meet MCP server (https://molt.molt2meet.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Molt2Meet tool call.
