Why meta_create_product needs a policy

This tool creates and stores new product data in a commerce catalog, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it affects commerce operations, it is classified as Write rather than Financial because it only creates product records in a catalog; actual payments or financial transactions are not processed by this tool alone.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Adds a product to a catalog' — a create operation that modifies data. Arguments include product name, description, price, and currency, confirming creation of new catalog entries.

How to control meta_create_product

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

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

meta_create_product 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 Meta 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.
