What link_project_workspace does on CoWork OS
AI agents use link_project_workspace to create or update resources in CoWork OS, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CoWork OS environment.
Why link_project_workspace is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data (linking a workspace to a project) in a persistent control plane database. It is reversible (the link could be unlinked) and has no irreversible deletion or financial implications.
From the tool's definition 'Link a workspace to a project' indicates creating or modifying an association/relationship in the CoWork OS control plane database. The verb 'link' combined with 'database' suggests a write operation that persists data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs link_project_workspace safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For link_project_workspace, this is the rule to start with:
link_project_workspace 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 CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every link_project_workspace call is checked against it from then on.

Register the CoWork OS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for link_project_workspace: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches CoWork OS. Nothing to install.
link_project_workspace is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the link_project_workspace rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for link_project_workspace. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
