What create_coupling_map_tool does on Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server
AI agents use create_coupling_map_tool to create or update resources in Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server environment.
Why create_coupling_map_tool is rated Medium
Coupling maps define qubit connectivity in quantum processors and are used as configuration inputs for transpilation. Creating one modifies transpiler state or configuration reversibly (it can be replaced or deleted). This does not execute arbitrary quantum operations (would be Execute), nor does it permanently destroy data (would be Destructive). The action is fundamentally generative, not destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_coupling_map_tool' indicates creation of a coupling map object, which is a data structure used in quantum circuit transpilation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_coupling_map_tool safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_coupling_map_tool, this is the rule to start with:
create_coupling_map_tool 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_coupling_map_tool call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_coupling_map_tool
create_coupling_map_tool is a write tool on the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_coupling_map_tool: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_coupling_map_tool 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_coupling_map_tool rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for create_coupling_map_tool. 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_coupling_map_tool is provided by the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server MCP server (qiskit-ibm-transpiler-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
