Why ios_create_ipa needs a policy

Based on the tool name, this likely compiles and packages an iOS application into an IPA archive, which is an Execute-level action (triggering a build/compilation process). The server context involves compiling and running Pascal/Delphi applications. Empty description lowers confidence. Severity is high due to potential for executing arbitrary build processes and producing deployable application packages.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ios_create_ipa' suggests building/packaging an iOS IPA file; description is empty and uninformative.

POLICY

How to control ios_create_ipa

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ios_create_ipa": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ios_create_ipa_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ios_create_ipa stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Claude Pascal MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about ios_create_ipa

What does the ios_create_ipa tool do? +

ios_create_ipa. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on ios_create_ipa? +

Register the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ios_create_ipa: 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 Claude Pascal MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ios_create_ipa? +

ios_create_ipa is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit ios_create_ipa? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ios_create_ipa 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 ios_create_ipa completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ios_create_ipa. 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 ios_create_ipa? +

ios_create_ipa is provided by the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server (tina4stack/claude-pascal-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Claude Pascal MCP Server tool call.
