Medium Risk

create_system

Creates and saves a new system. If credentials are provided, a confirmation UI appears that lets users review credentials you have provided and enter missing values. Leave empty for auth-free systems.

How to control create_system ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool creates and persists new system configurations, which is a Write operation (reversible data creation/modification). While it handles credentials and could enable downstream risks if misconfigured, the tool itself performs data creation/storage rather than deletion (Destructive), financial transactions (Financial), or arbitrary code execution (Execute).

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Creates and saves a new system' — a reversible write operation that persists new configuration state.

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

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

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

create_system 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 Superglue MCP — 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.

What does the create_system tool do? +

Creates and saves a new system. If credentials are provided, a confirmation UI appears that lets users review credentials you have provided and enter missing values. Leave empty for auth-free systems. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Superglue MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_system? +

Register the Superglue MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_system: 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 Superglue MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_system? +

create_system is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_system? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_system 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.

How do I block create_system completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_system. 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.

What MCP server provides create_system? +

create_system is provided by the Superglue MCP server (superglue-ai/superglue). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Superglue MCP tool call.
