WHAT IT DOES

What create_sample_template does on RSpace MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_sample_template needs a policy

This tool creates new template artifacts in RSpace, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The severity is medium because creating templates could affect multiple downstream sample creations if the template contains errors or is misused by an agent, creating a moderate blast radius across dependent workflows.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_sample_template' and description 'Creates a reusable template for sample creation' indicate data creation; 'template' suggests a potentially reusable artifact that modifies the system's configuration or stored templates in RSpace.
