What create_server does on Sacloud

AI agents use create_server 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_server needs a policy

Creating a server is a reversible Write operation that provisions new cloud infrastructure. While significant in scope and blast radius (an AI agent could spawn expensive resources), it is not Destructive (reversible via deletion) and not Financial (no direct money movement, though cost implications exist).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_server' indicates creation of cloud infrastructure resources. Server description confirms this is a Sakura Cloud management tool enabling interaction with cloud resources.

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

How to control create_server

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_server:

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

create_server 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.
