AI agents use create_project to create or update resources in Redmine MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Redmine MCP Server environment.
This tool creates new data structures in Redmine but does not permanently delete or move financial resources. The creation is reversible through the delete_project action. While it modifies system state, the impact is limited to adding new project records.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project' and description 'Create a new project' indicate a data creation operation that is reversible (projects can be deleted via 'delete_project' sibling tool).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Redmine MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_project": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_project_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}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.
Free to start. No card required.
Create a new project. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Redmine MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Redmine MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_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 Redmine MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_project 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 create_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_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.
create_project is provided by the Redmine MCP Server MCP server (yonaka15/mcp-server-redmine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
