How to control create_epic ↓

AI agents use create_epic to create or update resources in Taiga MCP Bridge — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Taiga MCP Bridge environment.

Medium Risk

Creating an epic in Taiga adds a new work item that can be modified, reassigned, or deleted later, making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium because bulk epic creation could clutter a project or misallocate resources, but the impact is reversible. Confidence is slightly reduced because the tool description is empty, requiring inference from the name and server context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_epic' and server context describe a Taiga project management integration that creates epics (a reversible data creation operation).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_epic gives an agent:

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

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

create_epic 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 Taiga MCP Bridge — 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.
