AI agents use create_activation to create or update resources in AAP Enterprise MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AAP Enterprise MCP Server environment.
This tool creates a new resource (activation) which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money directly (Financial), though activations in automation platforms may have licensing implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_activation' and description 'Create a new activation' indicate creation of a new resource.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_activation gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AAP Enterprise MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_activation:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_activation": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_activation_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_activation 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.
Free to start. No card required.
Create a new activation. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AAP Enterprise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AAP Enterprise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_activation: 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 AAP Enterprise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_activation 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 create_activation 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 create_activation. 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.
create_activation is provided by the AAP Enterprise MCP Server MCP server (sibilleb/aap-enterprise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
