WHAT IT DOES

What create_instance does on Automagik Tools

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

RISK

Why create_instance is rated Medium

The tool name 'create_instance' strongly suggests creating a new instance of some entity (likely API configurations, agents, or connections given the server's purpose of transforming APIs into MCP agents). This is a reversible data modification (Write category).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_instance' indicates creation of a new resource or object. The verb 'create' is characteristic of Write operations that modify state by adding new data. No description provided to reveal destructive or execute-class behavior.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_instance safely

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

create_instance Rate-limited

create_instance 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.
