THE RISK

Why itglue_create_document_section needs a policy

This tool creates new content within documents, which is a reversible modification operation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a new section to an existing document' with support for creating multiple section types (Text, Heading, Gallery, Step) with various attributes. This is a create operation that modifies existing documents.

POLICY

How to control itglue_create_document_section

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "itglue_create_document_section": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "itglue_create_document_section_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

itglue_create_document_section 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 free account and register Itglue — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
