create-language · Mcp Dev MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create-language does on Mcp Dev

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create-language needs a policy

This tool creates a new language configuration in Umbraco CMS, which is a reversible operation. The language can be modified or removed later. While it affects system configuration, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions. The 'create' operation falls squarely into the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create-language' and description states 'Creates a new language'. The verb 'creates' indicates a data modification operation that adds a new entity to the system.

Verdict

create-language Rate-limited

create-language 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.
