get_all_projects
AI agents call get_all_projects to retrieve information from MCP Atlassian + Bitbucket without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves a list of all projects from Jira/Bitbucket, which is a read-only query operation with no side effects. Even with an empty description, the 'get_' prefix combined with the context of an Atlassian MCP server and similar sibling tools strongly suggests it retrieves project metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_all_projects' with verb 'get' indicates data retrieval. Description is empty, but naming convention and sibling tools (browse_directory, get_attachments, get_agile_boards) consistently retrieve data without modification.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_all_projects 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.
