Create a new meeting in EspoCRM

How to control create_meeting ↓

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

Medium Risk

Creating a meeting is a Write operation because it generates a new entity in the CRM database. While reversible (meetings can be deleted), the tool modifies state by inserting data. Severity is medium because misuse could spam the system with unwanted meetings or clutter records, but cannot delete data, execute code, or commit financial actions. High confidence based on clear intent from both name and description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is "create_meeting" and description states "Create a new meeting in EspoCRM" — this is a create operation that adds a new record to the system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_meeting gives an agent:

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

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

create_meeting 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.

  1. Create a free account and register EspoCRM-MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
