## Facts

- Tool: `project`
- Server: PromptX (`deepractice/promptx`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/deepractice-promptx.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Deepractice/PromptX
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "project",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own definition: "Registers the IDE workspace root so PromptX can discover project-level roles and tools"

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches PromptX:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "project": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "project_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
