WHAT IT DOES

What create_issue does on Task Trellis MCP

AI agents use create_issue to create or update resources in Task Trellis MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Task Trellis MCP environment.

THE RISK

Why create_issue needs a policy

This tool creates new data entities (issues/tasks) in a task management system, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Creates a new issue in the task trellis system" and "Use this tool to create new issues such as tasks, projects, or other work items within the task management hierarchy." The verb "creates" and "new issues" indicate data…

POLICY

How to control create_issue

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_issue": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_issue_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_issue 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.
