Why wf_create_post needs a policy

This tool creates new content (posts) in the project management system. Creation of data is a Write operation—it modifies the system state by adding new records, but the action is reversible (posts can be deleted). It is not Destructive (irreversible deletion), not Execute (does not run arbitrary code), and not Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wf_create_post' and description 'Create a post' indicates it creates new data. The note about drafts vs. published posts shows the creation is reversible (posts can be deleted/unpublished).

How to control wf_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 wf_create_post:

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

wf_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.

  1. Create a free account and register Crow — 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.
