Create a new wiki

How to control create_wiki ↓

AI agents use create_wiki to create or update resources in Azure DevOps MCP Server for Cline — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Azure DevOps MCP Server for Cline environment.

Medium Risk

Creating a wiki is a reversible write operation—the wiki can be edited or deleted. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete existing data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions. The severity is medium because wiki creation could introduce misleading documentation, but the blast radius is limited by typical wiki governance and the reversibility of the action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_wiki' and description 'Create a new wiki' indicate a creation operation that adds a new resource to Azure DevOps. This is a write operation that modifies the Azure DevOps repository state by introducing a new wiki document.

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

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

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

create_wiki 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.
