Call this when the user wants to start tracking a new project, initiative, or client account. Creates a project in their Gantta workspace.

Part of the Gantta server.

create_project can modify Gantta data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use create_project to create or modify resources in Gantta. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_project repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Gantta.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_project gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so create_project only ever does what you allow.

What does the create_project tool do? +

Call this when the user wants to start tracking a new project, initiative, or client account. Creates a project in their Gantta workspace.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Gantta MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_project? +

Register the Gantta 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 Gantta. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_project? +

create_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_project? +

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.

How do I block create_project completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides create_project? +

create_project is provided by the Gantta MCP server (gantta/gantta-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Gantta tool call.
