WHAT IT DOES

What create_api_key does on Timeweb

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНОЕ ПОЛЕ - имя для создаваемого API-токена
`expire`	string	—	Дата и время истечения токена в ISO8601 (например 2026-12-31T23:59:59Z). Если не указано — токен без срока
`projects`	array	—	Список ID проектов, к которым ограничивается токен. Пусто/не указано — доступ ко всем проектам
`is_able_to_delete`	boolean	—	Разрешить удаление сервисов этим токеном без подтверждения через Telegram (по умолчанию — политика аккаунта)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_api_key is rated Medium

This tool creates authentication credentials (API keys/tokens) that grant access to resources and enable subsequent API operations. While not destructive itself, it is a Write operation that generates new security artifacts.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new API token ('Создает новый API-токен'). The description indicates the token value is returned once and must be saved, characteristic of credential generation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_api_key safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Timeweb, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_api_key, this is the rule to start with:

create_api_key Rate-limited

create_api_key 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_api_key": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_api_key_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Timeweb, apply this rule, and every create_api_key call is checked against it from then on.
