add_to_cart

Add products to Selver.ee guest cart by SKU. Creates a new cart if none exists. Server-side only - if a browser is open on selver.ee/cart, you must ALSO dispatch cart/addItem via chrome-devtools-mcp to keep the browser in sync (see README).

What add_to_cart does on Selver

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

Medium Risk

Why add_to_cart needs a policy

The tool modifies cart state by adding products, which is a Write operation. Severity is medium because misuse could result in unwanted items added to a cart (reversible via remove_from_cart), creating potential for user confusion or fraudulent cart manipulation, but does not directly process payment or destroy data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add products to Selver.ee guest cart' and 'Creates a new cart if none exists', which are reversible creation/modification operations on cart data.

How to control add_to_cart

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

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

add_to_cart 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 Selver — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on add_to_cart? +

Register the Selver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_to_cart: 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 Selver. Nothing to install.
