## Why projects_create is rated Medium

Creating a new project is a reversible Write operation that adds data to the system. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. While it modifies the task management system, the action can be undone by deletion. Medium severity is appropriate because misuse could clutter the workspace with unwanted projects, but the impact is containable and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new project', and the tool name 'projects_create' confirms it creates a new resource (project) in Vikunja task manager."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Vikunja:

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "projects_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "projects_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
