What create_openspec_project does on Trae-OpenSpec MCP

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

Medium Risk

Why create_openspec_project needs a policy

This tool creates new project artifacts and structures, which constitutes data modification. However, it is reversible (projects can be deleted or modified later), so it is Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could create numerous unwanted projects consuming resources, but the action is not irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'automatically creates OpenSpec projects' based on requirements. The verb 'create' and context of 'creation and management' in server description show this tool generates and establishes new project structures.

How to control create_openspec_project

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

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

create_openspec_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 Trae-OpenSpec MCP — 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.
