Create a new tag in a project. If color is omitted, it is generated deterministically from tag name.
AI agents use create_tag 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.
Creating a tag is a write operation that adds new data to the system. Tags are organizational metadata that can be subsequently modified or deleted, making this a reversible action. The blast radius is minimal—incorrect tags can be easily removed or renamed without affecting core project functionality.
From the tool's definition Tool 'create_tag' performs 'Create a new tag in a project', which is a reversible creation operation that adds metadata to the project structure.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_tag 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_tag:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_tag": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_tag_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_tag 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 new tag in a project. If color is omitted, it is generated deterministically from tag name. 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_tag: 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_tag 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_tag 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_tag. 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_tag 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.
