Upload a notebook file to SingleStore Spaces

How to control upload_notebook_file ↓

AI agents use upload_notebook_file 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 tool performs a reversible write operation—uploading a file creates or modifies data in the Spaces system but does not irreversibly delete data or execute arbitrary code. The blast radius is medium because an adversarial agent could upload malicious notebook content that might later be executed by users, but the upload itself is non-destructive and the harm depends on subsequent actions.

From the tool's definition The tool description states 'Upload a notebook file to SingleStore Spaces', which creates or adds new data (a notebook file) to the system. The act of uploading is a write operation that modifies the state of SingleStore Spaces by adding a new file artifact.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access upload_notebook_file 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 upload_notebook_file:

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

upload_notebook_file 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.
