Why flow_create_character needs a policy

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new character in Google Flow Characters with name and description' - the verb 'Create' and action of adding a new character entity demonstrates data creation with side effects.

How to control flow_create_character

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

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

flow_create_character 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.
