AI agents use create_project to create or update resources in TickTick MCP Service — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TickTick MCP Service environment.
Creating a project is a reversible modification operation (projects can typically be deleted or modified later). It does not irreversibly destroy data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read). Write is the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_project' which performs a creation operation. The server description indicates it works with 'TickTick task and goal data', and sibling tools include create_task, create_goal, and create_tag which are all Write operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TickTick MCP Service, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_project": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_project_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}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.

create_project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the TickTick MCP Service MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the TickTick MCP Service MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 TickTick MCP Service. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
create_project is provided by the TickTick MCP Service MCP server (galaxyxieyu/didatodolist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from TickTick MCP Service, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
