What containers_create does on Samarth Gtm Mcp
AI agents use containers_create to create or update resources in Samarth Gtm Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Samarth Gtm Mcp environment.
Why containers_create is rated Medium
This tool creates (adds) a new GTM container, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the GTM infrastructure, it does not delete data or move funds, and the operation can be undone by deleting the created container. The gating mechanisms (GTM_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=true and confirm=true) indicate organizational awareness of the write risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'containers_create' and description explicitly states '[WRITE] Create a new GTM container.' The action creates a new container, which is a reversible modification to Google Tag Manager configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs containers_create safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Samarth Gtm Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For containers_create, this is the rule to start with:
containers_create 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 Samarth Gtm Mcp, apply this rule, and every containers_create call is checked against it from then on.
