Why crow_create_project needs a policy

This tool creates a new project entity in the project management system. This is a Write operation as it adds data reversibly—projects can be modified or deleted later. There is no indication of destructive, financial, or code execution capabilities. The blast radius is low as creating a project in a management system is a standard, reversible operation with minimal risk of harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new project' which is a clear create operation that adds new data to the system.

How to control crow_create_project

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for crow_create_project:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "crow_create_project": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "crow_create_project_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

crow_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.

  1. Create a free account and register Crow — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
