RISK

Why create_permission_set is rated Medium

This tool creates permission sets, which are reversible modifications to security and governance configuration. It doesn't delete data (Destructive) or move money (Financial), but it does establish new access control rules that could broadly impact system security if misconfigured by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'create_permission_set' and described as creating 'a Sanka permission set for workspace governance.' The verb 'create' indicates data modification that establishes new access control policies.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_permission_set safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_permission_set, this is the rule to start with:

create_permission_set Rate-limited

create_permission_set 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.
