Why crow_create_post needs a policy

This tool creates new content (blog post drafts) which is reversible modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The medium severity reflects that malicious use could flood the system with spam posts or create misleading content, but the impact is limited to content creation and can be undone by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'crow_create_post' and description 'Create a new blog post draft' indicate data creation via the verb 'Create'.

POLICY

How to control crow_create_post

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

policy.json

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

crow_create_post 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 Crow — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
