Create a new workspace in the organization

How to control claude_code_create_workspace ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new organizational workspace, which is a write operation that modifies the state of the system by adding a new resource. While workspaces are typically reversible (can be deleted), the creation establishes new infrastructure/configuration that other users may depend on.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a new workspace in the organization', indicating it creates a new resource (workspace) with side effects that are reversible.

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

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

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

claude_code_create_workspace 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 Sage MCP — 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.
