What superset_annotation_create does on MCP Superset

Medium Risk

Why superset_annotation_create needs a policy

The 'create' operation reversibly adds a new annotation record to the Superset system. This is a Write category tool as it modifies data but does not irreversibly delete it or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because unauthorized annotation creation could pollute the data visualization system or mislead users viewing dashboards, but the effect is not catastrophic and could be reversed by deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'annotation_create', which indicates creation of a new annotation object in Superset. Sibling tools include annotation_delete, annotation_update, and annotation_list, confirming this is part of a CRUD annotation management system.

How to control superset_annotation_create

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

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

superset_annotation_create 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 MCP Superset — 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.
