WHAT IT DOES

What create_project does on Metis Public Health

AI agents use create_project to create or update resources in Metis Public Health, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Metis Public Health environment.

RISK

Why create_project is rated Medium

The verb 'create' places this in the Write category as it produces a new reversible data structure (a project). Without a populated description, confidence is moderate. The severity is medium because creating projects in a research/knowledge management system could consume resources or alter the user's workspace, but the operation is reversible (the project can be deleted).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project' indicates creation of a new project entity. Description is empty, providing no additional context about scope or effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_project, this is the rule to start with:

create_project Rate-limited

create_project 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.
