Why create_xhs_client needs a policy

This tool creates and initializes a new client instance, which is a Write operation—it creates new state in the system. It requires authentication credentials (Cookie), which is a security concern because improper credential handling could lead to unauthorized access. However, client instantiation itself is reversible (clients can be destroyed), so it doesn't qualify as Destructive.

From the tool's definition '创建一个新的小红书客户端实例' (creates a new Xiaohongshu client instance) and 'returns client ID' indicates creation of a new resource/state. The tool accepts Cookie authentication, establishing a persistent client session that modifies the state of the system.

How to control create_xhs_client

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

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

create_xhs_client 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.
