AI agents use create_switch 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.
This is a Write operation: it creates cloud infrastructure that can be modified or removed later (reversible). It is not Destructive (not deletion), Execute (not running code), Financial (not direct payment), or Read. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the pattern of sibling tools and the 'create_' prefix strongly indicate resource creation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_switch' suggests creating network infrastructure (a switch/network resource). Sibling tools like 'create_server', 'create_disk', 'create_loadbalancer', 'create_router' and 'delete_bridge', 'delete_router' confirm this server manages cloud…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_switch gives an agent:
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_switch:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_switch": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_switch_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_switch 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.

create_switch. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sacloud MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sacloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_switch: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sacloud. Nothing to install.
create_switch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_switch 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_switch. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_switch 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.
Start from Sacloud, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
