MCP Tool Reference Low Risk

list_followed_projects

List all CircleCI projects you are following

Part of the CircleCI MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call list_followed_projects to retrieve information from CircleCI without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions — but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON LIST_FOLLOWED_PROJECTS

Even though list_followed_projects only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

circleci.yaml
tools:
  list_followed_projects:
    rules:
      - action: allow
