WHAT IT DOES

What protect_project does on EchoRelay

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`slug`	string	Yes	The slug of a project you own.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why protect_project is rated Medium

An AI agent can call protect_project faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in EchoRelay by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs protect_project safely

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

protect_project Rate-limited

protect_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 EchoRelay, apply this rule, and every protect_project call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about protect_project

What does the protect_project tool do? +

Turn on archive protection for a project you own: archive_project (on every surface — panel, REST, and this tool) then refuses until it is lifted. Idempotent. Permanent from here — there is no tool or API call to turn it back off; only contacting support can. Requires an ACCOUNT-scoped token and the config scope. It is categorised as a Write tool in the EchoRelay MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does protect_project accept? +

protect_project accepts 1 parameter: slug. Required: slug. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on protect_project? +

Register the EchoRelay MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for protect_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 EchoRelay. Nothing to install.

What risk level is protect_project? +

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

Can I rate-limit protect_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the protect_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 protect_project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for protect_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 protect_project? +

protect_project is provided by the EchoRelay MCP server (https://mcp.echorelay.dev). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
