Create a new secret for use in webhook authentication. **Parameters:** - name (string) *required*: Name of the secret - value (string) *required*: Value of the secret - description (string): Description of the secret - teamUuid (string): UUID of the owning team (cannot be changed after creation)
Part of the SmartBear MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use contract-testing_create_secret to create or modify resources in SmartBear MCP. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call contract-testing_create_secret repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach SmartBear MCP.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Other tools in the Write risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, validate) apply to each.
Create a new secret for use in webhook authentication. **Parameters:** - name (string) *required*: Name of the secret - value (string) *required*: Value of the secret - description (string): Description of the secret - teamUuid (string): UUID of the owning team (cannot be changed after creation). It is categorised as a Write tool in the SmartBear MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for contract-testing_create_secret. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SmartBear MCP MCP server.
contract-testing_create_secret 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 contract-testing_create_secret rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for contract-testing_create_secret. 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.
contract-testing_create_secret is provided by the SmartBear MCP MCP server (@smartbear/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
