Part of the Schematic MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use create_feature to create or modify resources in Schematic. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_feature repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Schematic.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the create_feature tool do? +

Create a new feature flag. Boolean features are simple on/off switches - the most commonly used type, ideal for enabling/disabling functionality and basic plan differentiation. Event-based features are metered against user events and track usage that typically increases over time (e.g., API calls, reports generated, database queries). Trait-based features are based on information reported to Schematic and can track usage that fluctuates up and down (e.g., user seats, projects, devices). Trait-based features must be created in the web app. Optionally entitle the feature to a plan in the same call.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Schematic MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_feature? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_feature. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Schematic MCP server.

What risk level is create_feature? +

create_feature is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_feature? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_feature rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block create_feature completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for create_feature. 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.

What MCP server provides create_feature? +

create_feature is provided by the Schematic MCP server (@schematichq/schematic-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
