What create_router does on Sacloud

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

Why create_router needs a policy

The tool creates a router resource in Sakura Cloud, which modifies cloud infrastructure state reversibly. Creating network routing resources is a Write operation—it adds configuration that can be updated or deleted later (as evidenced by the 'delete_router' sibling).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_router'; sibling tools include 'create_server', 'create_disk', 'create_loadbalancer', 'create_switch', and 'delete_router', establishing a pattern of infrastructure provisioning and modification actions.

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

How to control create_router

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

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

create_router 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 Sacloud — 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.

What risk level is create_router? +

Can I rate-limit create_router? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_router 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 create_router completely? +

What MCP server provides create_router? +

create_router is provided by the Sacloud MCP server (sacloud/sacloud-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Sacloud tool call.

Start from Sacloud, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
