MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Trellis MCP tools

Write · Medium completeTask The tool completes (marks as done) a task in a hierarchical project management system. Write · Medium updateObject The tool modifies existing objects (tasks, features, epics, or projects) within the file-backed system. Write · Medium claimNextTask Based on the server context (hierarchical project management with create/claim/complete task operations) and the tool name, 'claimNextTask' most likely marks a task as claimed/in-progress by the AI agent — a reversible s

3 of Trellis MCP's 6 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Trellis MCP

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trellis MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "claimNextTask": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "claimnexttask_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "getObject": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "getobject_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
