Why superset_user_create needs a policy

This tool creates new user accounts, which is a reversible but significant data modification. High severity due to potential for unauthorized account creation, privilege escalation, or account abuse in a business intelligence platform. Not Destructive because user creation is reversible (accounts can be deleted). Not Execute because it is not running arbitrary code or commands.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'superset_user_create' indicates creation of a new user account in Superset. No description provided, but the naming pattern is consistent with Write operations (create, update, post).

How to control superset_user_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_user_create:

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

superset_user_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.
