Why create_server_profile needs a policy

Creating a server profile is a reversible write operation that establishes new infrastructure configuration. While significant in scope (can affect server behavior and management), it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The tool modifies system state by adding configuration, characteristic of Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_server_profile'; description: 'Create a new server profile'. The verb 'create' indicates the tool adds new configuration data to the system.

How to control create_server_profile

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

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

create_server_profile 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 Intersight MCP Server — 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.
