Why create_space_role needs a policy

This tool creates new roles that can be assigned to users to control permissions within a Storyblok space. While creation is reversible (roles can be deleted), the blast radius is significant: a misconfigured role with excessive permissions could grant unintended access to sensitive content, workflows, assets, or administrative functions across the space.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new custom space role with specific permissions. The name contains 'create' and the description explicitly states 'Creates a new custom space role', indicating irreversible creation of access control configuration.

How to control create_space_role

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_space_role:

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

create_space_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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
