What proj_get_messages does on Eda Agent
AI agents call proj_get_messages to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why proj_get_messages is rated Low
This tool appears to query or retrieve message data from a project without side effects. No arguments are described that would suggest code execution, deletion, or data modification. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and context of sibling read-only tools (app_get_*) strongly indicate a simple retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'proj_get_messages' indicates retrieval of messages (likely project status, warnings, or logs) with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proj_get_messages safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For proj_get_messages, this is the rule to start with:
proj_get_messages is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every proj_get_messages call is checked against it from then on.
