WHAT IT DOES

What phalcon_create_model does on Phalcon MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why phalcon_create_model needs a policy

The tool creates new model artifacts in a Phalcon framework project, which is a Write operation (creates data/files reversibly). The severity is medium because while model creation can affect application structure and potentially introduce vulnerabilities if models expose sensitive database tables, the operation is reversible through deletion and doesn't directly delete, execute arbitrary code, move money, or cause…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'phalcon_create_model' and description 'Create a new model' indicate creation of new data structures in a Phalcon project. This is a reversible write operation that generates model files.
