THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why azure_devops_create_pr_comment needs a policy

This tool creates new comments on pull requests, which is a reversible write operation. Comments can be edited or deleted, making it Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could spam comments, post misleading information, or disrupt collaboration workflows, but the effects are not permanent and do not directly delete data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a comment on a pull request', indicating creation of new data (comments) in Azure DevOps.

POLICY

How to control azure_devops_create_pr_comment

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

policy.json

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

azure_devops_create_pr_comment 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.
