List projects with status, area, deadline. Filter by status or area.
AI agents call projects_list to retrieve information from Mcp Obsidian Planner without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing project metadata (status, area, deadline) with optional filtering. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a straightforward read-only retrieval operation consistent with the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'projects_list' and description 'List projects with status, area, deadline. Filter by status or area.' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external processes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List projects with status, area, deadline. Filter by status or area. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Obsidian Planner MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Obsidian Planner MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for projects_list: 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 Mcp Obsidian Planner. Nothing to install.
projects_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the projects_list 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 projects_list. 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.
projects_list is provided by the Mcp Obsidian Planner MCP server (jarero321/mcp-obsidian-planner). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
