Create a new Pages document. Optionally provide initial text or a template.
AI agents use pages.create to create or update resources in Orchard — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Orchard environment.
This tool creates a new document file, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The severity is medium because creating files could consume storage or be used to spam/clutter the filesystem, but the action is reversible (files can be deleted). Confidence is high given the explicit 'create' action in both name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'pages.create' and description states 'Create a new Pages document.' The verb 'create' indicates document creation, which is a write operation that produces new data/files on the system.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pages.create gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Orchard, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pages.create:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pages.create": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "pages.create_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}pages.create 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 new Pages document. Optionally provide initial text or a template. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Orchard MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Orchard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pages.create: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Orchard. Nothing to install.
pages.create is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pages.create rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pages.create. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
pages.create is provided by the Orchard MCP server (l22-io/orchard-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Orchard, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
