Why liara_create_database needs a policy

Creating a database is a reversible write operation—the database can be deleted afterward. However, it has high severity because it provisions cloud resources that consume quota/costs and may store sensitive application data. It doesn't directly delete data or execute arbitrary code, so it is Write rather than Destructive or Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'liara_create_database' and description 'Create a new database' indicate resource creation on a cloud platform. This is a write operation that modifies the user's infrastructure state by adding a new managed database resource.

How to control liara_create_database

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

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

liara_create_database 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Liara MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
