THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_custom_collection needs a policy

This tool creates new collection records in the Sapo.vn POS/e-commerce system, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or transfer funds. The blast radius is medium because misconfigured collections could affect product visibility or SEO, but the operation can be undone by deleting the collection.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_custom_collection' and description 'Create a new custom (manual) collection' with parameters for title and body_html indicate creation of new data structures in the e-commerce platform.

POLICY

How to control create_custom_collection

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_custom_collection:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_custom_collection": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_custom_collection_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_custom_collection 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.

Create a free account and register Sapo — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
