THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why notion_create_comment needs a policy

Creating a comment is a write operation that modifies Notion data by adding new content. It is reversible (comments can be deleted) and has limited blast radius compared to destructive or financial operations. Severity is medium because uncontrolled comment creation could spam a workspace or add misleading information to collaborative documents, but the impact is localized to comments rather than core page data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new comment in Notion' — a create operation that adds new data to a Notion workspace.

How to control notion_create_comment

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

policy.json

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

notion_create_comment 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 Notion MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
