get_project_context is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_project_context to retrieve information from Main without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_project_context only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_project_context only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_project_context tool do? +

Captures the user's project architecture to inform i18n implementation strategy. When to Use Called during i18n_checklist Step 1. The checklist tool will tell you when to call this. If you're implementing i18n: 1. Call i18n_checklist(step_number=1, done=false) FIRST 2. The checklist will instruct you to call THIS tool 3. Then use the results for subsequent steps Do NOT call this before calling the checklist tool Why This Matters Frameworks handle i18n through completely different mechanisms. The same outcome (locale-aware routing) requires different code for Next.js vs TanStack Start vs React Router. Without accurate detection, you'll implement patterns that don't work. How to Use 1. Examine the user's project files (package.json, directories, config files) 2. Identify framework markers and version 3. Construct a detectionResults object matching the schema 4. Call this tool with your findings 5. Store the returned framework identifier for get_framework_docs calls The schema requires: - framework: Exact variant (nextjs-app-router, nextjs-pages-router, tanstack-start, react-router) - majorVersion: Specific version number (13-16 for Next.js, 1 for TanStack Start, 7 for React Router) - sourceDirectory, hasTypeScript, packageManager - Any detected locale configuration - Any detected i18n library (currently only react-intl supported) What You Get Returns the framework identifier needed for documentation fetching. The 'framework' field in the response is the exact string you'll use with get_framework_docs.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Main MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_project_context? +

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

What risk level is get_project_context? +

get_project_context is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_project_context? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_project_context 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 get_project_context completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_project_context. 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 get_project_context? +

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

Enforce policy on every Main tool call.
