What analyze_project does on MCP Chat
AI agents call analyze_project to retrieve information from MCP Chat without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs analyze_project safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Chat, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For analyze_project, this is the rule to start with:
analyze_project 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 MCP Chat, apply this rule, and every analyze_project call is checked against it from then on.
