AI agents use create_branch to create or modify resources in Supabase Godmode. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_branch repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Supabase Godmode.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_branch gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so create_branch only ever does what you allow.

What does the create_branch tool do? +

Creates a development branch on a Supabase project. This will apply all migrations from the main project to a fresh branch database. Note that production data will not carry over. The branch will get its own project_id via the resulting project_ref. Use this ID to execute queries and migrations on the branch.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Supabase Godmode MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_branch? +

Register the Supabase Godmode MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_branch: 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 Supabase Godmode. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_branch? +

create_branch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_branch? +

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

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

create_branch is provided by the Supabase Godmode MCP server (ubiq/supabase-godmode). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Supabase Godmode tool call.
