Complete Flow Designer lifecycle: create flows/subflows, add/update triggers and actions, list, get details, update, activate, deactivate, delete and publish. Use update_trigger to change an existing trigger (e.g. switch from record_created to record_create_or_update) without deleting the flow.
AI agents use snow_manage_flow to create or update resources in Serac — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Serac environment.
An AI agent can call snow_manage_flow faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Serac by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Complete Flow Designer lifecycle: create flows/subflows, add/update triggers and actions, list, get details, update, activate, deactivate, delete and publish. Use update_trigger to change an existing trigger (e.g. switch from record_created to record_create_or_update) without deleting the flow. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Serac MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Serac MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for snow_manage_flow: 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 Serac. Nothing to install.
snow_manage_flow 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 snow_manage_flow 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 snow_manage_flow. 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.
snow_manage_flow is provided by the Serac MCP server (serac-labs/serac). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
snow_manage_flow is one line of Serac's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
