Create a product with the given properties and return a copy of the object, including the ID.

How to control products_create ↓

AI agents use products_create to create or update resources in HubSpot MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your HubSpot MCP environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new product object in HubSpot, which is a reversible Write operation. While it modifies the database, the action can be undone by deleting the created product. The severity is medium rather than high because product creation typically has limited blast radius compared to financial transactions or mass destructive operations, though it could impact business processes if misused at scale.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'products_create' and description 'Create a product with the given properties' indicates creation of new data records in the HubSpot CRM system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access products_create gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HubSpot MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for products_create:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "products_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "products_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

products_create 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.

  1. Create a free account and register HubSpot MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
