What create_server does on Komodo MCP Server

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

Medium Risk

Why create_server needs a policy

The tool creates new server infrastructure resources in the Komodo system, which is a reversible Write operation. However, the severity is high rather than medium because provisioning servers typically involves resource allocation, potential cost implications, and impact on system topology.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_server' and description 'Crea un nuevo servidor en Komodo' (Creates a new server in Komodo) indicates creation of infrastructure resources.

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

How to control create_server

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

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

create_server 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 Komodo 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.
