AI agents use create_short_link to create or modify resources in Qr Maker. 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_short_link 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 Qr Maker.

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_short_link only ever does what you allow.

What does the create_short_link tool do? +

Create a tracked short link with click analytics. Use this to add tracking to QR codes — encode the short URL as the QR content. Supports custom codes and expiration dates.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Qr Maker 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_short_link? +

Register the Qr Maker MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_short_link: 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 Qr Maker. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_short_link? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_short_link? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_short_link 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_short_link completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_short_link. 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_short_link? +

create_short_link is provided by the Qr Maker MCP server (@qr-maker/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Qr Maker tool call.
