List all projects in Argo CD.
AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Mcp Read Only Argocd without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries project metadata from Argo CD without modifying, executing, deleting, or committing financial operations. The read-only nature of the server and the list operation confirm this is a simple data retrieval function with no side effects. Severity is low because querying project information poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—it only exposes existing metadata.
From the tool's definition Server explicitly described as 'read-only' and tool name 'list_projects' with action verb 'List' indicates data retrieval with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all projects in Argo CD. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Read Only Argocd MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Read Only Argocd 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 Mcp Read Only Argocd. 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 Mcp Read Only Argocd MCP server (lukleh/mcp-read-only-argocd). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
