create_doc · Dart MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_doc does on Dart MCP Server

AI agents use create_doc to create or update resources in Dart MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Dart MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_doc needs a policy

This tool creates new documents, which modifies the workspace state by adding data. It is reversible (documents can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because creating documents could involve sensitive information or organizational data, but the impact is limited to data creation without side effects like code execution or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_doc' and description 'Create a new document or report' explicitly indicate document creation, which is a reversible write operation.

Verdict

create_doc Rate-limited

create_doc 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.
