List all Basecamp projects. Results are cached for 5 minutes.
AI agents call get_projects to retrieve information from Basecamp 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 and lists project information from a Basecamp workspace without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions—it only queries and returns data. This is a straightforward Read category tool with low risk, as misuse would result in information disclosure rather than operational harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_projects' and description states 'List all Basecamp projects' — a query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external processes.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all Basecamp projects. Results are cached for 5 minutes. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Basecamp MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Basecamp MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_projects: 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 Basecamp MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_projects 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_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_projects. 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_projects is provided by the Basecamp MCP Server MCP server (kbhalerao/basecamp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_projects is one line of Basecamp MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
