Why create_workspace_role needs a policy

The tool creates new workspace roles, which modifies the authorization/access control structure of the secrets management platform. While reversible (roles can be deleted), this is a Write action rather than Execute because it doesn't run arbitrary code or trigger dynamic external operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Creates a new workspace role'. This is a reversible data modification action that establishes new access control configuration.

How to control create_workspace_role

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

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

create_workspace_role 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 Keyshade — 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.

What MCP server provides create_workspace_role? +
