Why create_product needs a policy

This tool creates new product records in an e-commerce system, which is reversible (products can be deleted or modified later). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete/destroy data irreversibly, or commit financial transactions directly. The blast radius is contained to product data creation—moderate risk if an AI agent creates unwanted products, but manageable through deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'create_product' with description 'Create a new product' creates and adds new data (product records) to the PrestaShop e-commerce system.

How to control create_product

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

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

create_product 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 PrestaShop 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.
