- Server: ProAgentStore (`https://mcp.proagentstore.online/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-proagentstore-platform.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/ProAgentStore/platform

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_collection",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_collection is rated Medium

The tool creates new collections (data structures) for an agent, which is a Write operation as it creates and modifies data reversibly. The severity is medium rather than high because collection creation is typically reversible (collections can be deleted) and doesn't directly affect existing production data or have cross-system financial implications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a new data collection' which is a create operation that adds new data structures. The tool allows defining fields and indexing, indicating it modifies the agent's data schema in a reversible manner."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ProAgentStore:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_collection": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_collection_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
