Create new layer in current document / 現在のドキュメントに新しいレイヤーを作成
AI agents use affinity_create_layer to create or update resources in MCP Affinity Designer Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Affinity Designer Server environment.
Creating a new layer in a design document is a Write operation—it modifies the document state reversibly (the layer can be deleted). This is a low-severity action because it does not irreversibly destroy data, execute arbitrary code, or move financial resources. The blast radius of accidental layer creation is minimal and easily undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'affinity_create_layer' and description states 'Create new layer in current document', which is a reversible creation operation that modifies document structure.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access affinity_create_layer gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Affinity Designer Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for affinity_create_layer:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"affinity_create_layer": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "affinity_create_layer_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}affinity_create_layer 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.

Create new layer in current document / 現在のドキュメントに新しいレイヤーを作成. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for affinity_create_layer: 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 MCP Affinity Designer Server. Nothing to install.
affinity_create_layer is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the affinity_create_layer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for affinity_create_layer. 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.
affinity_create_layer is provided by the MCP Affinity Designer Server MCP server (szgk/mcp-affinity-designer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Affinity Designer Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
