Retrieve a page of projects. Only projects for which the authenticated user has PROJECT_VIEW permission will be returned. Can filter by name or permission level.
AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Mcp Bitbucket Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project information based on view permissions and optional filters. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of code—purely a data query operation. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized information disclosure within the user's already-authorized scope.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieve a page of projects' and 'Only projects for which the authenticated user has PROJECT_VIEW permission will be returned.' The verbs 'retrieve' and the focus on querying/listing indicate a read-only operation with no data…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve a page of projects. Only projects for which the authenticated user has PROJECT_VIEW permission will be returned. Can filter by name or permission level. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Bitbucket Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Bitbucket Server 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 Bitbucket Server. 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 Bitbucket Server MCP server (mcp-bitbucket-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
