Why add_application_private needs a policy

The 'add_application' prefix indicates a create operation that modifies system state by adding a new application. This is reversible (applications can be deleted) and falls under Write category. Severity is high because adding an application in a CI/CD system could enable unauthorized builds, artifact access, or resource consumption.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'add_application_private' with no description provided. Based on the 'add_' prefix and the context of a CI/CD API server managing applications, this tool creates or registers a new application in Codemagic.

How to control add_application_private

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

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

add_application_private 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 Codemagic 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.
