Why create_team needs a policy

This tool creates a new team, which is a reversible write operation. While it modifies organizational state, the action can be undone by deleting the team. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, move funds, or merely read data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_team' with description 'Create a new team in an organization'. This is a create operation that modifies organizational structure by adding a new team entity.

How to control create_team

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Forgejo, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_team:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_team": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_team_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_team 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Forgejo — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
