set_organization

Set the active organization (only available when API key environment variable is not set)

How to control set_organization ↓

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

Medium Risk

This is a Write operation because it modifies application state (the active organization) reversibly. It doesn't execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data (Destructive), move money (Financial), or merely retrieve data (Read).

From the tool's definition The tool 'set_organization' performs an organizational context switch, modifying the active organization state.

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

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

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

set_organization 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 SingleStore MCP Server — 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.

What does the set_organization tool do? +

Set the active organization (only available when API key environment variable is not set). It is categorised as a Write tool in the SingleStore MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on set_organization? +

Register the SingleStore MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_organization: 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 SingleStore MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_organization? +

set_organization is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_organization? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_organization 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.

How do I block set_organization completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_organization. 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.

What MCP server provides set_organization? +

set_organization is provided by the SingleStore MCP Server MCP server (singlestore-labs/mcp-server-singlestore). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SingleStore MCP Server tool call.
