WHAT IT DOES

What project does on PromptX

AI agents use project to create or update resources in PromptX, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PromptX environment.

RISK

Why project is rated Medium

This tool binds/registers a directory path as the current project workspace. It creates or modifies a configuration/registry entry mapping the project directory, which is a reversible write operation. It does not read data, execute code, delete anything, or involve finances. Severity is low since it only affects PromptX's internal workspace configuration.

From the tool's definition Registers the IDE workspace root so PromptX can discover project-level roles and tools

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs project safely

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

project Rate-limited

project stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

FAQ

Questions about project

What does the project tool do? +

Bind the current IDE project directory What It Does Registers the IDE workspace root so PromptX can discover project-level roles and tools. When to Use Call this when the IDE has a project open, before running \. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PromptX MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on project? +

Register the PromptX MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project: 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 PromptX. Nothing to install.

What risk level is project? +

project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project 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.

How do I block project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project. 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.

What MCP server provides project? +

project is provided by the PromptX MCP server (deepractice/promptx). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
