What project_docs does on GNS3 MCP Server
AI agents call project_docs to retrieve information from GNS3 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 project_docs is rated Low
Without an explicit description, the tool name strongly suggests this retrieves or queries documentation associated with projects—a Read operation with no side effects. The confidence is moderated due to the missing description. If this tool actually modifies, executes, or deletes project documentation, classification would change; however, 'docs' typically implies retrieval in lab/automation contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_docs' suggests retrieval of documentation or metadata associated with GNS3 projects. The description is empty, which limits certainty, but the naming convention is consistent with read-only access patterns (e.g., 'export_topology_diagram'…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs project_docs safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GNS3 MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For project_docs, this is the rule to start with:
project_docs 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 GNS3 MCP Server, apply this rule, and every project_docs call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about project_docs
project_docs is a read tool on the GNS3 MCP Server MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GNS3 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GNS3 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_docs: 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 GNS3 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
project_docs 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 project_docs 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 project_docs. 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.
project_docs is provided by the GNS3 MCP Server MCP server (chistokhinsv/gns3-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
