What create_collect does on Sapo

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

Why create_collect needs a policy

This tool creates a new data relationship (product-collection mapping) which is reversible (can be undone by removing the mapping). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition 'Add a product to a custom collection by creating a collect mapping' — creates a new mapping/association that links a product to a collection, modifying the collection's membership.

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

How to control create_collect

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

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

create_collect 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 Sapo — 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.
