WHAT IT DOES

What list_projects does on Savi Tools

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`active`	boolean	—	Filter to active (true) or paused (false) projects. Omit for all.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why list_projects is rated Low

This tool queries and returns project data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk—the worst-case scenario is exposure of project metadata (names, clients, budgets, dates), which is informational rather than directly harmful.

From the tool's definition The tool 'list_projects' retrieves project information (client, type, budget, dates) with optional filtering.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_projects safely

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

list_projects Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_projects": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Savi Tools, apply this rule, and every list_projects call is checked against it from then on.
