Get basic project information and default search settings.
AI agents call get_project_info to retrieve information from Azure DevOps MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static project metadata and configuration (basic info, search settings). It performs a query operation that returns data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes to the system. There is no financial impact, no code execution, and no destructive capability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_info' and description 'Get basic project information and default search settings' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get basic project information and default search settings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Azure DevOps MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Azure DevOps MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project_info: 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 Azure DevOps MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_project_info 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 get_project_info 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 get_project_info. 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.
get_project_info is provided by the Azure DevOps MCP Server MCP server (jhlia0/azure-devops-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
