create_workflow · Jgkme/kilo Image Gen MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_workflow does on Jgkme/kilo Image Gen

AI agents use create_workflow to create or update resources in Jgkme/kilo Image Gen — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Jgkme/kilo Image Gen environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_workflow needs a policy

This tool creates a new workflow record in the system, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute image generation itself, delete data, move money, or run arbitrary code. The blast radius is low: a malformed workflow record can be edited, deleted, or replaced without cascading damage. Classification as Write is appropriate for a tool that creates/establishes a data structure.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a workflow record, which is a persistent data structure that enables iterative image processing. The description uses 'Create' and references establishing a record for multi-step task management.

create_workflow Rate-limited

create_workflow 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.

Create a workflow record so the client and server can iterate on a multi-step image task. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Jgkme/kilo Image Gen MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_workflow? +

Register the Jgkme/kilo Image Gen MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_workflow: 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 Jgkme/kilo Image Gen. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_workflow? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_workflow? +

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

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

create_workflow is provided by the Jgkme/kilo Image Gen MCP server (jgkme/img-gen-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
