A project is the top-level organizational unit in Devctrl. It contains everything related to a set of AI agents: identities, tasks, tools, policies, and audit logs. ## Create a project 1. Log in to the [Devctrl Console](https://console.devctrl.ai) 2. Click **Create Project** on the dashboard 3. Enter a **name** for your project (e.g., `customer-support`, `data-pipeline`) 4. Set the **default policy action** ## Default policy action Every project has a default policy action that applies when no active policy release exists, or when no policy rules match a request: | Action | Behavior | | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Deny** (recommended) | Block all tool calls unless a policy explicitly allows them | | **Allow** | Allow all tool calls unless a policy explicitly blocks them | Start with **Deny** as the default. This follows the principle of least privilege — agents can't do anything until you explicitly permit it. ## Team members Projects support team collaboration. You can invite other users to your project and assign roles: * Navigate to **Settings** in your project * Add members by email * Assign roles to control who can manage identities, policies, and tools ## Project settings In the project **Settings** page, you can: * Rename the project * Change the default policy action * Enable or disable MCP (the gateway won't accept requests for this project if disabled) * Manage team members * Delete the project Deleting a project removes all associated identities, tasks, tools, policies, and audit logs permanently. This action cannot be undone. ## Next steps Add your first tool server to the project. Create agent identities with credentials.
