Why openproject-get-project needs a policy

This tool retrieves project data by ID without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that queries existing data from the OpenProject instance, consistent with the 'get/fetch' pattern of Read category tools.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'openproject-get-project' and description 'Gets a specific project by its ID from OpenProject' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control openproject-get-project

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OpenProject MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for openproject-get-project:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "openproject-get-project": {}
  }
}

openproject-get-project is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register OpenProject MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
