AI agents use goclaw_provider_create to create or update resources in GoClaw MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your GoClaw MCP Server environment.
The tool creates a new LLM provider configuration entry in the GoClaw system. This is a Write category action as it creates new data/configuration that can be modified or deleted later. Severity is high because misconfigured LLM providers could expose API keys, route traffic incorrectly, or create security gaps in the gateway infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'Add a new LLM provider' action, which creates a new configuration entry in the GoClaw gateway infrastructure. This is a reversible creation operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access goclaw_provider_create gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GoClaw MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for goclaw_provider_create:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"goclaw_provider_create": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "goclaw_provider_create_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}goclaw_provider_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.
Free to start. No card required.
Add a new LLM provider to GoClaw. It is categorised as a Write tool in the GoClaw MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the GoClaw MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for goclaw_provider_create: 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 GoClaw MCP Server. Nothing to install.
goclaw_provider_create is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the goclaw_provider_create 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for goclaw_provider_create. 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.
goclaw_provider_create is provided by the GoClaw MCP Server MCP server (nextlevelbuilder/goclaw-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from GoClaw MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
