create_token · Wolai MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_token does on Wolai MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_token needs a policy

Creating API tokens is a Write operation as it generates new credentials and modifies the authentication state of the Wolai system. However, it carries high severity because: (1) a misused token could enable an AI agent to perform any action on the Wolai knowledge base with that token's permissions, (2) tokens are typically long-lived and difficult to audit/revoke, and (3) the agent could generate multiple tokens to…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_token' and description 'Create a new Wolai API token using App ID and App Secret' indicate irreversible creation of authentication credentials that grant access to the Wolai system.
