Create a new company. This tool allows you to create a company. The request requires a companyRequest object with various properties like addressOne, emailOne, name, and tags.
AI agents use createCompany to create or update resources in Teamwork MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Teamwork MCP environment.
Creating a company record is a reversible write operation that adds new data to the system. While it modifies the database, the action can be undone by deleting the company record. The severity is medium because creating erroneous or fraudulent company records could complicate project management workflows and require administrative cleanup, but does not result in data loss or financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'createCompany' and description 'Create a new company' explicitly indicate data creation. The description states it 'allows you to create a company' with properties like name, addressOne, emailOne, and tags.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access createCompany gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Teamwork MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for createCompany:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"createCompany": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "createcompany_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}createCompany 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.

It is categorised as a Write tool in the Teamwork MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Teamwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for createCompany: 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 Teamwork MCP. Nothing to install.
createCompany 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 createCompany 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 createCompany. 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.
createCompany is provided by the Teamwork MCP server (vizioz/teamwork-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Teamwork MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
