What create-account does on Dynamics 365 MCP Server

Medium Risk

Why create-account needs a policy

This tool creates new account records in Dynamics 365, a reversible operation that modifies data. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money, making it a Write rather than Destructive or Financial action. The medium severity reflects that creating erroneous accounts could cause operational confusion but is correctable and has limited immediate blast radius compared to destructive operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-account' and description 'Create a new account in Dynamics 365' indicate data creation in a business system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create-account gives an agent:

How to control create-account

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Dynamics 365 MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create-account:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create-account": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create-account_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create-account 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 Dynamics 365 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.
