RISK

Why dephq_project_init is rated Medium

This tool creates new project files and scaffolding. It explicitly states existing files are never overwritten, making it a reversible write operation (new file creation) rather than destructive. The severity is medium since it creates potentially many files on the filesystem, but misuse has limited blast radius given the no-overwrite guarantee.

From the tool's definition Scaffold a complete Dephq React and TypeScript project... Creation is transactional and existing files are never overwritten.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs dephq_project_init safely

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

dephq_project_init Rate-limited

dephq_project_init 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dephq_project_init": {
      "limits": [

          "counter": "dephq_project_init_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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