Start a large volume view read (for views too large for read_cells). Lifecycle: create -> poll with get_view_readrequest -> download pages with get_view_readrequest_page -> cleanup with delete_view_readrequest.
AI agents call create_view_readrequest to retrieve information from Anaplan MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool initiates a read operation to retrieve large view data from Anaplan. Despite being named 'create', it creates a read request (a transient session object) as the first step of a data retrieval workflow. The entire lifecycle is oriented around reading/downloading data, not modifying it. The worst-case misuse is exposing large volumes of data, which is a Read concern at low-medium severity.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_view_readrequest gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Anaplan MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_view_readrequest:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_view_readrequest": {}
}
}create_view_readrequest is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Start a large volume view read (for views too large for read_cells). Lifecycle: create -> poll with get_view_readrequest -> download pages with get_view_readrequest_page -> cleanup with delete_view_readrequest. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Anaplan MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Anaplan MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_view_readrequest: 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 Anaplan MCP. Nothing to install.
create_view_readrequest is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_view_readrequest 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 create_view_readrequest. 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.
create_view_readrequest is provided by the Anaplan MCP server (larasrinath/anaplan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Anaplan MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
