WHAT IT DOES

What add-startree-index does on StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot

AI agents use add-startree-index to create or update resources in StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot environment.

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why add-startree-index needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies index configuration within a table's settings. This is reversible (index configs can be removed or updated) and does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. It fits the Write category as it creates or modifies data reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Adds a Star-Tree index configuration to a table config' — the verb 'Adds' indicates creation/modification of configuration data. This is a write operation that modifies table metadata.

POLICY

How to control add-startree-index

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and StarTree MCP Server for Apache Pinot, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add-startree-index:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add-startree-index": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add-startree-index_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add-startree-index 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.
