AI agents use create_relationship to create or update resources in IdeaLift MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your IdeaLift MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new associations/metadata within the product backlog system. It modifies the structure of ideas by adding relationship records, but these changes are easily reversible (relationships can be deleted or updated). The operation has no side effects on external systems, no code execution, no data deletion, and no financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool creates relationships between ideas in the backlog management system. The description explicitly states it 'Create[s] a relationship' with various bidirectional and directional relationship types (related_to, alternative_to, superseded_by, merged_into,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create a relationship between two ideas. Relationship types: - related_to: General relationship (bidirectional) - alternative_to: Ideas that solve the same problem differently (bidirectional) - superseded_by: This idea was replaced by another (directional) - merged_into: This idea was merged into another (directional) - blocked_by: This idea depends on another (directional) - parent_of: This is a parent/epic of another idea (directional) - derived_from: This idea was inspired by another (directional). It is categorised as a Write tool in the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_relationship: 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 IdeaLift MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_relationship 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_relationship 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_relationship. 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_relationship is provided by the IdeaLift MCP Server MCP server (startvest-llc/idealift-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
