Why create-project-with-headings needs a policy

This tool creates a new project with hierarchical headings in Things 3, which is a reversible data modification. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), or involve financial transactions. The description is empty, lowering confidence slightly, but the sibling tools and naming convention strongly indicate Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-project-with-headings' indicates creation of a project structure; server context shows it manages Things 3 data with tools like 'add-project' and 'add-todo' for creating/modifying tasks. The 'create-' prefix signifies Write operations.

How to control create-project-with-headings

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SupaThings MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create-project-with-headings:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create-project-with-headings": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create-project-with-headings_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create-project-with-headings 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.
