What projects_get does on Vikunja
AI agents call projects_get to retrieve information from Vikunja without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why projects_get is rated Low
This is a straightforward read operation that retrieves project data by its identifier. It queries existing data and returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low severity reflects the minimal risk of retrieving task management project metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'projects_get' and description 'Get a single project by ID' indicate retrieval of a single project record without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs projects_get safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vikunja, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For projects_get, this is the rule to start with:
projects_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Vikunja, apply this rule, and every projects_get call is checked against it from then on.
