Create a new project in Sentry

Part of the Sentry MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use create_project to create or modify resources in Sentry. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON CREATE_PROJECT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call create_project repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Sentry.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

sentry.yaml 
tools:
  create_project:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 30
          window: 60

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the create_project tool do?

Create a new project in Sentry. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sentry MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_project?

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_project. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Sentry MCP server.

What risk level is create_project?

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

Can I rate-limit create_project?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_project rule in your Intercept 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 create_project completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept 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.

What MCP server provides create_project?

create_project is provided by the Sentry MCP server (getsentry/sentry-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
