Why create_session needs a policy

Creating a session is a reversible data creation operation that modifies application state by adding a new session object to the system. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or read existing data without side effects. This clearly fits the Write category (create, update, post, upload).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_session' and description states 'Create a new chat session'. This action creates a new session resource, which is a reversible write operation (sessions can be deleted as evidenced by the 'delete_session' sibling tool).

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

How to control create_session

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

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

create_session 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 WeKnora 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.
