What create_organization does on Supabase MCP Server

Why create_organization needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a new organization) in a reversible manner. Organization creation can typically be undone by deletion. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or merely read data. The medium severity reflects that an AI agent creating unwanted organizations could consume resources or create administrative overhead, but the impact is bounded and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_organization'. Description: 'Create a new organization'. The tool creates a new entity (organization) in the Supabase management system.

How to control create_organization

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

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

create_organization 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 Supabase 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.
