create_routine_folder
AI agents use create_routine_folder to create or update resources in Hevy — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hevy environment.
This tool creates new data (a routine folder) in the Hevy fitness tracking system, which is reversible—folders can be deleted or reorganized. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the name and context clearly indicate a Write operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_routine_folder' indicates creation of a new folder/container for fitness routines. The sibling tools include destructive operations (implied by routine management), but this specific tool creates a reversible organizational structure.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Hevy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_routine_folder:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_routine_folder": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_routine_folder_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_routine_folder 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_routine_folder. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hevy MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Hevy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_routine_folder: 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 Hevy. Nothing to install.
create_routine_folder 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 create_routine_folder 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 create_routine_folder. 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.
create_routine_folder is provided by the Hevy MCP server (tomtorggler/hevy-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Hevy, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
