WHAT IT DOES

What createDocument does on Stable Baseline

AI agents use createDocument to create or update resources in Stable Baseline, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stable Baseline environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`cdmd`	string	—	Document body in CDMD markdown. Alias: content.
`title`	string	—
`content`	string	—	Alias for cdmd — provide one of the two.
`folderId`	string	—
`position`	number	—	Sort position within the parent folder (or project root if no folderId). When omitted, the document is appended at the end.
`projectId`	string	Yes
`changeSummary`	string	—	Version history summary.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why createDocument is rated Medium

An AI agent can call createDocument faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Stable Baseline by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs createDocument safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For createDocument, this is the rule to start with:

createDocument Rate-limited

createDocument 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.

FAQ

Questions about createDocument

What does the createDocument tool do? +

Create a document from CDMD markdown (standard Markdown plus SB extensions — call getCdmdLanguageGuide if unfamiliar). The body goes in cdmd (content is accepted as an alias). A leading --- YAML frontmatter block is stored and preserved: title/exported_at/generator are managed by the platform, and any other key you set (doc_type, authority_state, owner, conforms_to, …) round-trips untouched through reads and later edits. Do not include DIAGRAM/IMAGE markers — insert them after with dedicated tools. Returns the new document's id and versionTimestamp (the optimistic-lock token for subsequent edits). Supports @-mentioning people: embed  to notify a teammate. Use listAssignablePrincipals to look up the user_id from a name; mentions of users outside the project are silently dropped. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does createDocument accept? +

createDocument accepts 7 parameters: cdmd, title, content, folderId, position, projectId, changeSummary. Required: projectId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on createDocument? +

Register the Stable Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for createDocument: 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 Stable Baseline. Nothing to install.

What risk level is createDocument? +

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

Can I rate-limit createDocument? +

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

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

createDocument is provided by the Stable Baseline MCP server (https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
