Medium Risk

create_link

Create a link between two nodes in the current diagram. Use node names (e.g. "User" and "Account") for from and to—the server resolves them. No diagram or node IDs needed.

Part of the Planform MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use create_link to create or modify resources in Planform MCP Server. 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_link 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 Planform MCP Server.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the create_link tool do? +

Create a link between two nodes in the current diagram. Use node names (e.g. "User" and "Account") for from and to—the server resolves them. No diagram or node IDs needed.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Planform MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_link? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_link. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Planform MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is create_link? +

create_link is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_link? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_link 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.

How do I block create_link completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for create_link. 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.

What MCP server provides create_link? +

create_link is provided by the Planform MCP Server MCP server (@shirbarzur/planform-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
