Create a Sanka workflow definition or a provider workflow by passing provider=hubspot through the same workflow endpoint. For HubSpot, dry_run defaults to true unless confirm=true.
AI agents use create_workflow to create or update resources in Sanka MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sanka MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new workflow definitions, which is a Write operation that modifies system state by adding new automation workflows. The high severity reflects that workflows can trigger cascading business logic with broad effects across integrated systems (e.g., HubSpot). While reversible (workflows can typically be deleted), it ranks below Destructive since deletion is a separate operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_workflow' and description explicitly states it 'Create[s] a Sanka workflow definition or a provider workflow', indicating irreversible creation of workflow configurations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create a Sanka workflow definition or a provider workflow by passing provider=hubspot through the same workflow endpoint. For HubSpot, dry_run defaults to true unless confirm=true. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sanka MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Sanka MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_workflow: 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 Sanka MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_workflow 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_workflow 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_workflow. 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_workflow is provided by the Sanka MCP Server MCP server (sankahq/sanka-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
