WHAT IT DOES

What gcp_rm_list_projects does on GCP MCP Server

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

RISK

Why gcp_rm_list_projects is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only enumeration of GCP projects. While it could expose the organization's project structure and potentially aid reconnaissance, it does not modify data, execute operations, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. It is purely informational.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gcp_rm_list_projects' and description 'List all accessible GCP projects' indicate a query operation that retrieves project information without modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs gcp_rm_list_projects safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GCP MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gcp_rm_list_projects, this is the rule to start with:

gcp_rm_list_projects Allowed

gcp_rm_list_projects is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
