Part of the OneSignal MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use create_user to create or modify resources in OneSignal. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_user repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach OneSignal.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Create a new user in a OneSignal app. Provide an `identity` (e.g. {"external_id": "user-123"}) so the user can be referenced later by alias. Optionally attach `properties` (tags, language, country) and `subscriptions` (email, SMS, or push channels). The `identity` field is required to prevent orphaned users.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OneSignal MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_user. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the OneSignal MCP server.
create_user 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 create_user rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for create_user. 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.
create_user is provided by the OneSignal MCP server (onesignal/onesignal). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
