AI agents use project_create to create or update resources in Tpm — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tpm environment.
This tool creates a new project record in the local SQLite database, which is a reversible Write operation. It modifies the database state by adding a new entity but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_create' and description 'Create a new project' indicate it creates new data within the SQLite database. The server manages projects, features, and tasks locally.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Create a new project under an organization. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tpm MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Tpm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_create: 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 Tpm. Nothing to install.
project_create 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 project_create 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 project_create. 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.
project_create is provided by the Tpm MCP server (urjitbhatia/tpm-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
project_create is one line of Tpm's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
