WHAT IT DOES

What start_project does on Nitrostack

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

RISK

Creates a new project and generates content; reversible write operation with moderate blast radius.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs start_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nitrostack, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For start_project, this is the rule to start with:

start_project Rate-limited

start_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.
