What search_projects does on Tripletex MCP Server
AI agents call search_projects to retrieve information from Tripletex MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why search_projects is rated Low
This tool only searches and retrieves project information without any side effects. It fits the Read category definition: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. The severity is low because misuse would only expose project metadata, and the blast radius is minimal even if an AI agent queries for unauthorized projects.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Search for projects" which is a query operation. The purpose is to "find project IDs" - retrieving data for reference, not modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search_projects safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tripletex MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_projects, this is the rule to start with:
search_projects 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 Tripletex MCP Server, apply this rule, and every search_projects call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about search_projects
Search for projects by name or other filters. Use this to find project IDs for logging hours. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tripletex MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tripletex MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_projects: 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 Tripletex MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search_projects is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_projects 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 search_projects. 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.
search_projects is provided by the Tripletex MCP Server MCP server (adriantr/tripletex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
