WHAT IT DOES

What create_project does on Plane

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

RISK

Why create_project is rated Medium

This tool creates a new project resource within Plane, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies the workspace state by adding a new entity but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project' with server context describing 'full CRUD operations' and 'manage workspaces, projects, and work items'.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_project, this is the rule to start with:

create_project Rate-limited

create_project 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.

    }

}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Plane, apply this rule, and every create_project call is checked against it from then on.
