AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Flashcard MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation to enumerate flashcard projects. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute external operations, and does not delete anything. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity since listing projects poses minimal risk even if called inappropriately by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_projects' and description explicitly states 'List all flashcard projects'. It retrieves and displays existing projects without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.

List all flashcard projects. Call this first to see what projects exist before creating flashcards or querying them. Each project has a name and description so you can pick the right one. IMPORTANT: Each project has a memory that contains persistent notes and context. After listing projects, call read_memory for any project you will be working with if you haven. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flashcard MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Flashcard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Flashcard MCP. Nothing to install.
list_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 list_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 list_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.
list_projects is provided by the Flashcard MCP server (louislva/flashcards-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_projects is one line of Flashcard's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
