将 Stata 代码写入 do 文件并保存到磁盘，返回文件路径；相对文件名会写入最近 session 项目的 .stata-mcp/dofiles/，不会使用 MCP runtime。
AI agents use stata_write_dofile to create or update resources in Stata — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stata environment.
This tool creates and modifies files on disk by writing Stata code to do-files. While reversible (files can be deleted or overwritten), it changes the filesystem state and could allow an AI agent to inject malicious Stata code into execution files, which would then be run by stata_run or stata_run_dofile.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it '将 Stata 代码写入 do 文件并保存到磁盘' (writes Stata code into do files and saves to disk). The verb 'write' and 'save' indicate data creation/modification. The tool creates new files or modifies existing do-files on the filesystem.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stata_write_dofile gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Stata, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for stata_write_dofile:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"stata_write_dofile": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "stata_write_dofile_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}stata_write_dofile stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

将 Stata 代码写入 do 文件并保存到磁盘，返回文件路径；相对文件名会写入最近 session 项目的 .stata-mcp/dofiles/，不会使用 MCP runtime。. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Stata MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Stata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stata_write_dofile: 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 Stata. Nothing to install.
stata_write_dofile 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 stata_write_dofile 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 stata_write_dofile. 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.
stata_write_dofile is provided by the Stata MCP server (shichengg/stata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Stata, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
