Why create_document_template needs a policy

This tool creates new documents and metadata within a knowledge base system. While reversible (documents can be deleted or updated later), it modifies the knowledge base state and could fill the system with unwanted or malicious templates if misused by an AI agent. This is a Write operation because it generates and stores new data, not a destructive or financial action.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a properly structured document template' — the word 'Create' indicates data creation. The tool generates new documents and metadata for a knowledge base, which are stored artifacts.

How to control create_document_template

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Agent Knowledge MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_document_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_document_template": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_document_template_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_document_template 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Agent Knowledge MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
