create_quantum_state · PsiAnimator- MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_quantum_state does on PsiAnimator-MCP

AI agents use create_quantum_state to create or update resources in PsiAnimator-MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PsiAnimator-MCP environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_quantum_state needs a policy

This tool creates quantum state objects for simulation purposes, which is a reversible write operation. It has no capability to execute external code, delete data, or cause financial impact. The quantum states are internal computational objects used for simulation within the PsiAnimator-MCP environment. Severity is low because misuse would only affect local simulation data with no external blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool creates quantum states (pure/mixed, single/composite systems) — explicitly a creation operation with no destructive or external side effects

Verdict

create_quantum_state Rate-limited

create_quantum_state 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.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches PsiAnimator-MCP, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about create_quantum_state

What does the create_quantum_state tool do? +

Create quantum states (pure/mixed, single/composite systems). It is categorised as a Write tool in the PsiAnimator-MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_quantum_state? +

Register the PsiAnimator- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_quantum_state: 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 PsiAnimator-MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_quantum_state? +

create_quantum_state is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_quantum_state? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_quantum_state 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.

How do I block create_quantum_state completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_quantum_state. 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.

What MCP server provides create_quantum_state? +

create_quantum_state is provided by the PsiAnimator- MCP server (manasp21/psianimator-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
