Why create_multiple_datapoints needs a policy

The tool creates multiple datapoints (records of progress toward goals) in Beeminder, which is a reversible write operation. While the description is empty, the name and context are clear. Severity is medium because bulk datapoint creation could corrupt tracking data or mislead self-commitment accountability, but changes are reversible via 'delete_datapoint'.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_multiple_datapoints' indicates creation of data records. Sibling tools include 'create_datapoint', 'create_goal', 'delete_datapoint', etc., establishing a pattern where 'create_*' operations are write operations on user goal-tracking data in…

How to control create_multiple_datapoints

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

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

create_multiple_datapoints 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.
