Medium Risk

Why create_access_token needs a policy

Creating access tokens is a Write operation—it generates new, reversible credentials that grant access to resources. While not Destructive (tokens can be revoked) or Financial, the high severity reflects that a compromised token could provide an attacker with broad access to Storyblok spaces and content. An AI agent misusing this tool could generate tokens for unauthorized access or escalate privileges.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_access_token' which creates a new credential/token. The Storyblok MCP server description indicates this tool operates within access control and credential management for 'spaces, stories, components, assets, workflows'.

How to control create_access_token

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

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

create_access_token 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 Storyblok 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.
