What create_note does on Xhs

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

Why create_note needs a policy

This tool creates and publishes new content (articles/notes) to a Xiaohongshu account without requiring explicit authentication from the account owner. While reversible (published content can be deleted), it represents a significant Write operation that modifies user-visible data and could be used to spam, impersonate, or abuse accounts if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states '将文章发布到某个手机号的小红书上' (publish articles to Xiaohongshu for a phone number) and 'can directly call this interface' without prior login. This is a create/publish operation that modifies the target account's content.

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

How to control create_note

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

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

create_note 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 Xhs — 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.
