Why ticktick_create_project needs a policy

Creating a new project is a reversible write operation. It adds a new entity to the system but does not delete, execute code, move money, or cause irreversible changes. The impact is limited to the user's own project space. Severity is low because project creation is a standard, non-destructive productivity action with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ticktick_create_project' and description 'Create a new project in TickTick' indicate a create operation that generates new data.

How to control ticktick_create_project

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

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

ticktick_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.

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
