AI agents use agents_create to create or modify resources in Dialogbrain. 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 agents_create 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 Dialogbrain.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access agents_create gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Create a new AI agent in the workspace. Execution modes: - ai_assisted (default, recommended): Two-phase AI — fast pre-classifier (Haiku) for keyword filtering and simple replies, then full AI with tools for complex messages. Best for: auto-replies, group monitoring, keyword-based filtering. - agentic: Autonomous multi-step agent with planning and tool execution. Best for: complex scheduled tasks, multi-step automation. - rule_based: Simple pattern matching without AI. For keyword filtering: use ai_assisted mode + set keywords in trigger conditions (free, deterministic) and/or auto_reply_rules (smart, LLM-based) via agents.update.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dialogbrain MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Dialogbrain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agents_create: 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 Dialogbrain. Nothing to install.
agents_create 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 agents_create 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 agents_create. 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.
agents_create is provided by the Dialogbrain MCP server (https://api.dialogbrain.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
