What add_schema does on Codehooks Io MCP Server

AI agents use add_schema to create or update resources in Codehooks Io MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Codehooks Io MCP Server environment.

Why add_schema needs a policy

The tool performs a schema modification operation ('add'), which is fundamentally a write action that creates or updates metadata. While schema changes can have wide-ranging effects on data validation and processing, the operation itself is reversible (schema can be updated or removed). This distinguishes it from Destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool explicitly performs 'Add a JSON schema to a collection', which modifies collection metadata by creating or updating schema definitions. This is a reversible write operation that alters data structure definitions rather than instance data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_schema gives an agent:

How to control add_schema

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

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

add_schema 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 Codehooks Io MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about add_schema

What does the add_schema tool do? +

Add a JSON schema to a collection. Provide the schema content as a JSON string. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Codehooks Io 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 add_schema? +

Register the Codehooks Io MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_schema: 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 Codehooks Io MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is add_schema? +

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

Can I rate-limit add_schema? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_schema 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.

How do I block add_schema completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for add_schema. 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 add_schema? +

add_schema is provided by the Codehooks Io MCP Server MCP server (restdb/codehooks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
