WHAT IT DOES

What create_record does on Ncp

AI agents use create_record to create or update resources in Ncp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ncp environment.

RISK

Why create_record is rated Medium

This tool creates new records in Airtable, which is a reversible write operation. It has medium severity because creating records could result in duplicate data, financial data pollution, or incorrect information being stored, but the changes can be undone through Airtable's interface or via a delete operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create record in Airtable' which creates new data in a remote database without deleting or modifying existing data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_record safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ncp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_record, this is the rule to start with:

create_record Rate-limited

create_record 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.
