Why create_webhook_with_config needs a policy

This tool creates a new webhook endpoint, which is a reversible data/resource creation operation. It falls under Write category rather than Execute because it does not run arbitrary code or commands—it simply provisions a new endpoint with predefined configuration options.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_webhook' and description 'Create a new webhook.site endpoint' directly indicates creation of a new resource.

POLICY

How to control create_webhook_with_config

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_webhook_with_config": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_webhook_with_config_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_webhook_with_config 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
