Create a dependency planning view inside a project. Returns summary by default; set verbose=true for full data.
AI agents use create_dependency_view to create or update resources in Roadmap Skill — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Roadmap Skill environment.
This tool creates a new dependency view, which is a reversible data modification operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or have side effects beyond creating a new planning artifact within a project. The blast radius is medium—a misconfigured or spurious dependency view could clutter a project but can be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_dependency_view' and description 'Create a dependency planning view inside a project' indicate a creation operation that modifies project state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_dependency_view gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Roadmap Skill, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_dependency_view:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_dependency_view": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_dependency_view_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_dependency_view 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 a dependency planning view inside a project. Returns summary by default; set verbose=true for full data. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Roadmap Skill MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Roadmap Skill MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_dependency_view: 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 Roadmap Skill. Nothing to install.
create_dependency_view 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_dependency_view 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_dependency_view. 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_dependency_view is provided by the Roadmap Skill MCP server (shiquda/roadmap-skill). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
