Create a new Tally form with specified fields and configuration. This tool converts simple field definitions into Tally\
AI agents use create_form to create or update resources in Tally MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tally MCP environment.
This tool creates new forms, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move financial resources. The severity is medium because creating forms could spam or clutter a form management system, but the action is non-destructive and can be undone by deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new Tally form with specified fields and configuration.' The verb 'create' and the action of generating a new form constitute data creation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_form gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Tally MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_form:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_form": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_form_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_form 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 Tally form with specified fields and configuration. This tool converts simple field definitions into Tally\. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tally MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Tally MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_form: 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 Tally MCP. Nothing to install.
create_form 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 create_form 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_form. 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_form is provided by the Tally MCP server (learnwithcc/tally-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Tally MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
