What create_procedure does on Komodo

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

Why create_procedure needs a policy

This tool creates a new resource (procedure) with reversible effects—the procedure can subsequently be updated or deleted. It does not execute arbitrary code or trigger immediate external operations beyond resource creation, nor does it delete or move financial assets.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_procedure' and description states 'Create a new procedure.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_procedure gives an agent:

How to control create_procedure

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

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

create_procedure 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 Komodo — 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.

Questions about create_procedure

What does the create_procedure tool do? +

Create a new procedure. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Komodo MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_procedure? +

Register the Komodo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_procedure: 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 Komodo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_procedure? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_procedure? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_procedure 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 create_procedure completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_procedure. 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 create_procedure? +

create_procedure is provided by the Komodo MCP server (myrikld/komodo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Komodo tool call.

Start from Komodo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
