AI agents use create_note to create or update resources in Twenty MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Twenty MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new notes within the Twenty CRM, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger external operations beyond note creation. The medium severity reflects the potential for note spam, misinformation in records, or cluttering the CRM with unwanted notes, but the impact is limited and reversible through editing or deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_note' and description states 'Create a new note in Twenty CRM'. The verb 'create' indicates a write operation that adds new data to the CRM system.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_note gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Twenty MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_note": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_note_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_note 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.
