AI agents call getProjects to retrieve information from Backlog MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of projects from Backlog without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—exposure would only allow an agent to view available projects, not modify or delete them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getProjects' and description 'Backlogのプロジェクト一覧を取得します' (retrieves Backlog project list) indicate a retrieval operation with no modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getProjects gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Backlog MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getProjects:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getProjects": {}
}
}getProjects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Backlogのプロジェクト一覧を取得します. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Backlog MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Backlog MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getProjects: 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 Backlog MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getProjects 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 getProjects 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 getProjects. 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.
getProjects is provided by the Backlog MCP Server MCP server (jootsuki/backlog-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Backlog MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
