AI agents use create_project to create or update resources in Forgetful — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Forgetful environment.
The 'create_project' tool most likely creates a new project record in the persistent knowledge base, which is a Write operation (reversible via delete). Without an explicit description, confidence is moderate. Severity is medium because misuse could pollute the knowledge base with unwanted projects, but the operation is reversible via the sibling delete_* tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project' indicates creation of a new entity. The description is empty, but context from sibling tools on the Forgetful server (create_document, create_entity, create_memory, create_skill) all suggest write operations that create persistent…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Forgetful, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_project": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_project_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}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.

create_project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Forgetful MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Forgetful MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_project: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Forgetful. Nothing to install.
create_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_project rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_project. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_project is provided by the Forgetful MCP server (scottrbk/forgetful). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
