project · GameCodex MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What project does on GameCodex

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why project needs a policy

This tool creates and modifies project metadata, goals, milestones, and session state. While reversible (goals can be cleared, decisions overwritten, features potentially removed), it persistently alters project tracking data. It does not execute code, delete irreversibly, or involve financial transactions, placing it in Write.

From the tool's definition Actions include 'set', 'add_feature', 'note', 'milestone', 'decide', 'goal', 'complete_goal', and 'session' — all state-modifying operations.

Verdict

project Rate-limited

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.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: every tool call is checked against your rule before it reaches GameCodex, so you can run agents against it safely.

FAQ

Questions about project

What does the project tool do? +

Use when: starting a session, tracking progress, logging decisions, setting goals, checking scope health, running structured workflows. Your game dev AI assistant — project state, decisions, goals, milestones, scope health, session orchestration. Adapts to your genre and phase. Actions: hello, get, set, suggest, decide, goal, complete_goal, clear_goals, milestone, note, recall, health, scope, add_feature, list, session. It is categorised as a Write tool in the GameCodex MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on project? +

Register the GameCodex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project: 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 GameCodex. Nothing to install.

What risk level is project? +

project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project 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.

How do I block project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project. 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.

What MCP server provides project? +

project is provided by the GameCodex MCP server (wesleysalzer/gamecodex). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
