create-age-graph · AGE-MCP-Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create-age-graph does on AGE-MCP-Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create-age-graph needs a policy

This tool creates a new graph entity in the AGE (Apache AGE) graph database, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies the database state by adding a new graph, it can be undone by deleting the graph afterward. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete existing data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Create a new graph in the AGE' — a create operation that adds new data structure to the graph database.

create-age-graph Rate-limited

create-age-graph 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.
