WHAT IT DOES

What initshutdown_create does on Nasbridge

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

RISK

Why initshutdown_create is rated Medium

Creates a new init/shutdown script that will execute during system startup or shutdown. While this is a write operation (creating a new record), the created script can execute arbitrary code at system boot/shutdown, making misuse potentially high-impact. However, the act of creating the script itself is a Write operation — execution happens separately when the system boots/shuts down.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs initshutdown_create safely

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

initshutdown_create Rate-limited

initshutdown_create 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.
