WHAT IT DOES

What snow_create_vulnerability_scan does on Serac

AI agents invoke snow_create_vulnerability_scan to trigger actions in Serac. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why snow_create_vulnerability_scan is rated High

This tool does more than just write configuration data — it schedules automated scans (triggering recurring external operations) and can enable auto-remediation, which means it can autonomously trigger remediation actions based on scan findings. The auto-remediation capability in particular represents an Execute-level risk, as it initiates operations whose effects depend on the scan results and thresholds configured.

From the tool's definition Creates vulnerability scanning configurations. Schedules scans, sets severity thresholds, and enables auto-remediation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs snow_create_vulnerability_scan safely

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

snow_create_vulnerability_scan Rate-limited

snow_create_vulnerability_scan stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
