Create a new record in a PocketBase collection. Requires admin authentication.
AI agents use create_record to create or update resources in PocketBase MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PocketBase MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new records, which is a reversible modification of data. It does not delete, destroy, or move financial resources. While it modifies data, the action is reversible (records can be updated or deleted later), placing it in Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Create a new record in a PocketBase collection" — the verb "create" and the action of adding new data to a database are characteristic of Write operations. It requires admin authentication, indicating privileged access.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_record gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PocketBase MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_record:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_record": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_record_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_record 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.

Create a new record in a PocketBase collection. Requires admin authentication. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PocketBase MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the PocketBase MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_record: 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 PocketBase MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_record 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 create_record 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_record. 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.
create_record is provided by the PocketBase MCP Server MCP server (ssakone/pb_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
