What stop_project does on Denkopsai
AI agents invoke stop_project to trigger actions in Denkopsai. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why stop_project is rated High
This tool executes an operation that stops a live deployment, taking containers offline. While the description indicates it is reversible via start_project, the action itself is an execution of infrastructure control (stopping containers) rather than data retrieval (Read), data modification (Write), or permanent deletion (Destructive).
From the tool's definition Tool description states: 'Stop a DenkOps deployment (containers stop and it goes offline). Reversible with start_project.' The action terminates running containers and takes a service offline, which is an external operational trigger with significant side…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs stop_project safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Denkopsai, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For stop_project, this is the rule to start with:
stop_project stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Denkopsai, apply this rule, and every stop_project call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about stop_project
Stop a DenkOps deployment (containers stop and it goes offline). Reversible with start_project. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Denkopsai MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
stop_project accepts 1 parameter: project_id. Required: project_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Denkopsai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stop_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 Denkopsai. Nothing to install.
stop_project is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stop_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.
stop_project is provided by the Denkopsai MCP server (@denkopsai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
