What rhino.create_project does on CoWork OS
AI agents use rhino.create_project 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 rhino.create_project is rated Medium
This tool creates a new project workspace in Rhino, which is a Write operation — it establishes data structures that can subsequently be modified or deleted. There is no irreversible deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The blast radius is minimal as project creation is a standard, recoverable operation.
From the tool's definition 'Create a Rhino architecture project workspace' — the verb 'create' indicates data creation. This tool instantiates a new project workspace, a reversible operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rhino.create_project 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 rhino.create_project, this is the rule to start with:
rhino.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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every rhino.create_project call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino.create_project
Create a Rhino architecture project workspace. It is categorised as a Write tool in the CoWork OS MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the CoWork OS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino.create_project: 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.
rhino.create_project 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 rhino.create_project 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 rhino.create_project. 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.
rhino.create_project is provided by the CoWork OS MCP server (CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
