WHAT IT DOES

What elem_add_circle does on Mcp Anything

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

RISK

Why elem_add_circle is rated Medium

The 'add' action typically creates new data or elements in design/graphics contexts. This appears to be creating a graphical element (circle), which is reversible (can be undone or deleted), fitting the Write category. Severity is medium because unauthorized element creation could corrupt designs or workflows, but the effect is not destructive or permanent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'elem_add_circle' indicates creation of a circle element; the 'add' prefix suggests a reversible write operation. Description is empty, limiting certainty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs elem_add_circle safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For elem_add_circle, this is the rule to start with:

elem_add_circle Rate-limited

elem_add_circle 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.
