THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_implementation_plan needs a policy

This tool creates new data artifacts (implementation plans) within the Moodle LMS context. While the creation is reversible (plans can be edited or deleted), it modifies the user's workspace by adding new objects. The severity is medium rather than high because the impact is localized to planning data without direct access to grades, course content deletion, or financial implications.

From the tool's definition The tool name and description indicate it 'Create[s] a step-by-step implementation plan' — the word 'Create' shows data creation.

POLICY

How to control create_implementation_plan

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_implementation_plan": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_implementation_plan_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_implementation_plan 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 free account and register Moodle-MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
