# create_role A write tool on the API-Central MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `create_role`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/create-role ## Facts - Tool: `create_role` - Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "create_role", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why create_role is rated Medium This tool creates new data (a role) in a reversible manner—roles can typically be modified or deleted afterwards. The 'create' verb places it in the Write category. Severity is high because misconfigured roles in network administration systems could grant excessive permissions, affecting network access control. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_role' indicates creation of a new role entity. Description is empty, but naming convention and server context (network operations automation for HPE Aruba Central) suggest this creates a new role definition, likely for access control or…" ## Use case AI agents use create_role to create or update resources in API-Central, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API-Central environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches API-Central: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "create_role": { "limits": [ { "counter": "create_role_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on API-Central (589) - `aos8_execute_migration_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-execute-migration-rollback.md - `aos8_logout` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/aos8-logout.md - `apstra_delete_connectivity_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/apstra-delete-connectivity-template.md - `clear_alerts` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clear-alerts.md - `clearpass_delete_endpoint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-endpoint.md - `clearpass_delete_guest` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/clearpass-delete-guest.md - `delete_aaa_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-aaa-profile.md - `delete_auth_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-profile.md - `delete_auth_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-auth-server.md - `delete_authz_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-authz-policy.md - `delete_config_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-config-assignment.md - `delete_device_groups` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-groups.md - `delete_device_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-device-notes.md - `delete_glp_role_assignment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-role-assignment.md - `delete_glp_scope_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group.md - `delete_glp_scope_group_scopes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-glp-scope-group-scopes.md - `delete_gw_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-gw-policy.md - `delete_mac_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mac-registration.md - `delete_mpsk_registration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-mpsk-registration.md - `delete_network_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-network-profile.md - `delete_notification_rule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-notification-rule.md - `delete_overlay_ssid` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-overlay-ssid.md - `delete_report` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report.md - `delete_report_run` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-report-run.md - `delete_role` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role.md - `delete_role_acl` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-role-acl.md - `delete_server_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-server-group.md - `delete_site_collections_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-site-collections-bulk.md - `delete_sites_bulk` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-sites-bulk.md - `delete_static_tag` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/delete-static-tag.md - …and 559 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
