What create_draft does on AgentCloak

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

Why create_draft needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies email drafts, which is a Write operation. Although the draft is not sent, it persists in the system and represents irreversible creation of new data. Severity is medium because drafts are typically user-recoverable (can be deleted), but misuse could result in sensitive PII being drafted and left in the mailbox for discovery.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create an email draft' and 'draft is saved' — this creates new data (a draft email message) in the email system.

How to control create_draft

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

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

create_draft 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 AgentCloak — 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.
