Create a new webhook to receive notifications when events occur

How to control create_webhook ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new webhook configuration, which is a reversible write operation. While webhooks enable external integrations, the creation itself does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move money. However, improperly configured webhooks could expose sensitive data or trigger unintended side effects in integrated systems, justifying medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new webhook to receive notifications' — the word 'Create' indicates a write operation that modifies system state by adding a new webhook resource.

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

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

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

create_webhook 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 Flux 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 create_webhook tool do? +

Create a new webhook to receive notifications when events occur. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Flux 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 create_webhook? +

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

What risk level is create_webhook? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_webhook? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_webhook 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 create_webhook completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_webhook. 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 create_webhook? +

create_webhook is provided by the Flux MCP Server MCP server (sirsjg/flux). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Flux MCP Server tool call.
