It has minimal blast radius—a misused folder creation would clutter the organizational structure but can be easily undone by deleting the folder. This is lower severity than Execute or Destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'smartlead_create_folder' and description 'Create a folder in Smart Delivery to organize tests' explicitly indicates a create operation that modifies the organizational structure of the Smart Delivery system.

How to control smartlead_create_folder

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

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

smartlead_create_folder 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.
