What create_eventsource does on Logicmonitor
AI agents use create_eventsource to create or update resources in Logicmonitor, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Logicmonitor environment.
Why create_eventsource is rated Medium
An AI agent can call create_eventsource faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Logicmonitor by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_eventsource safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Logicmonitor, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_eventsource, this is the rule to start with:
create_eventsource 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 Logicmonitor, apply this rule, and every create_eventsource call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_eventsource
Create an EventSource via REST API from a full definition dict. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Logicmonitor MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Logicmonitor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_eventsource: 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 Logicmonitor. Nothing to install.
create_eventsource 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_eventsource 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_eventsource. 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_eventsource is provided by the Logicmonitor MCP server (pypi:lm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
