What create_relation does on Project Guardian MCP
AI agents use create_relation to create or update resources in Project Guardian MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Project Guardian MCP environment.
Why create_relation is rated Medium
This tool creates relationships between entities in the project memory system. The action is reversible (relations can be deleted via sibling tool 'delete_relation'), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_relation' and description 'Create relation(s) between project entities' indicate reversible creation of data structures within the knowledge graph.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_relation safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Project Guardian MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_relation, this is the rule to start with:
create_relation 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Project Guardian MCP, apply this rule, and every create_relation call is checked against it from then on.
