mdk-create

Creates MDK projects or entity metadata using templates (CRUD, List Detail, Base). Use this for initializing new projects or adding entity metadata to existing projects.

Part of the Mdk server.

mdk-create can modify Mdk data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use mdk-create to create or modify resources in Mdk. 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 mdk-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 Mdk.

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 mdk-create only ever does what you allow.

What does the mdk-create tool do? +

Creates MDK projects or entity metadata using templates (CRUD, List Detail, Base). Use this for initializing new projects or adding entity metadata to existing projects.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mdk MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on mdk-create? +

Register the Mdk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mdk-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 Mdk. Nothing to install.

What risk level is mdk-create? +

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

Can I rate-limit mdk-create? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mdk-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.

How do I block mdk-create completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for mdk-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.

What MCP server provides mdk-create? +

mdk-create is provided by the Mdk MCP server (@sap/mdk-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 Mdk tool call.
