WHAT IT DOES

What create_role does on CloudStack MCP Server

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

RISK

Why create_role is rated Medium

This tool creates a new role with permissions, which is a reversible write operation that modifies system configuration. While it doesn't directly delete or destroy data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial), it is a high-severity Write because improper role creation could grant excessive permissions and compromise infrastructure security.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_role' and description 'Create a new role with specified permissions' indicate data creation. This creates a new identity/access control entity that modifies the authorization landscape of the CloudStack infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_role safely

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

create_role Rate-limited

create_role 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.
