What list_projects does on Keyshade

AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Keyshade without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why list_projects needs a policy

This tool queries and returns a list of existing projects without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It is purely informational and has no destructive or side-effect capabilities. The severity is low because listing projects has minimal blast radius—it only reveals metadata about project existence and structure, not sensitive secret values themselves.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_projects' and description 'Lists all projects within a specific Keyshade workspace' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_projects gives an agent:

How to control list_projects

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Keyshade, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_projects:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_projects": {}
  }
}

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

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