AI agents use pathrule_create_workspace to create or modify resources in Pathrule. 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 pathrule_create_workspace 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 Pathrule.

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 pathrule_create_workspace only ever does what you allow.

What does the pathrule_create_workspace tool do? +

Create a new Pathrule workspace inside an organization. Cloud-only: writes the workspace row through the user's JWT (RLS enforces organization membership). Does NOT attach the workspace to a local folder, does NOT install any AI client config, and does NOT render CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md or editor companion files — those steps require Pathrule Desktop or CLI. After creation, call pathrule_setup with the returned workspace_id to fetch the bootstrap brief.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pathrule MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on pathrule_create_workspace? +

Register the Pathrule MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pathrule_create_workspace: 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 Pathrule. Nothing to install.

What risk level is pathrule_create_workspace? +

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

Can I rate-limit pathrule_create_workspace? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pathrule_create_workspace 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 pathrule_create_workspace completely? +

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

pathrule_create_workspace is provided by the Pathrule MCP server (https://mcp.pathrule.io/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Pathrule tool call.
