RISK

Why createImprovementCategory is rated Medium

This tool creates new organizational metadata (improvement categories) in the system. It is reversible (categories can be deleted or modified), affects no external systems, involves no financial transactions, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not destroy data. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potentially cluttering the category structure, which would be low-impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate "Create an improvement category" which creates new data. The description specifies structural creation (category/sub-category) with defined constraints (max two levels), implying reversible data insertion into the knowledge…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs createImprovementCategory 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 createImprovementCategory, this is the rule to start with:

createImprovementCategory Rate-limited

createImprovementCategory 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.
