This endpoint creates a policy in the v2 policy service.

v2 request shape

The v2 API accepts a single policy object. It no longer uses the old policies[].resourcePolicy wrapper.

Important fields:

• name: unique policy name within the organization
• mcp_server_id: target MCP server
• application_ids: agents/applications this policy applies to
• status: DRAFT, ACTIVE, INACTIVE, or ARCHIVED
• rules: array of rule objects using authorized, actions, roles_groups, and optional condition

Example:

{
  "name": "Slack outbound policy",
  "description": "Default outbound Slack controls for the support agent.",
  "support_contact": "platform@company.com",
  "tags": ["slack", "support"],
  "status": "DRAFT",
  "mcp_server_id": "server_123",
  "application_ids": ["agent_456"],
  "rules": [\
    {\
      "name": "allow_all",\
      "authorized": true,\
      "actions": ["*"],\
      "roles_groups": ["*"]\
    },\
    {\
      "name": "block_general_channel",\
      "authorized": false,\
      "actions": ["tools/call:chat_postMessage"],\
      "roles_groups": ["*"],\
      "condition": {\
        "match": {\
          "all": {\
            "of": [\
              {\
                "expr": "request.resource.attr.channel == \"general\""\
              }\
            ]\
          }\
        }\
      }\
    }\
  ]
}
