What add-doc does on CHECK-MODULE MCP Server

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

Medium Risk

Why add-doc needs a policy

This tool creates new documents or modifies existing ones in the documentation system. These are Write operations—they change state but are reversible (documents can be updated again or removed). The severity is medium because misuse could corrupt internal documentation, affecting users relying on accurate docs, but the damage is containable through subsequent corrections or version control.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add or update documentation. Stores a new document or updates an existing one.' The verbs 'add' and 'update' combined with 'stores' indicate reversible creation and modification of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add-doc gives an agent:

How to control add-doc

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and CHECK-MODULE MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add-doc:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add-doc": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add-doc_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add-doc 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 CHECK-MODULE MCP Server — 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.

Register the CHECK-MODULE MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add-doc: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches CHECK-MODULE MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is add-doc? +

add-doc is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit add-doc? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add-doc rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block add-doc completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add-doc. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides add-doc? +

add-doc is provided by the CHECK-MODULE MCP Server MCP server (muhammedehab35/check-module-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every CHECK-MODULE MCP Server tool call.

Start from CHECK-MODULE MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
