WHAT IT DOES

What docker_compose_projects does on Mcp Control Plane

AI agents call docker_compose_projects to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why docker_compose_projects is rated Low

This is a reconnaissance tool that queries the filesystem to enumerate Docker Compose projects. It performs a read-only discovery operation with no side effects on the system. While the information obtained could inform subsequent harmful actions by an agent, the tool itself only reads and returns data.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate discovery/querying of docker-compose projects ('Discover docker-compose.yml / compose.yaml projects'). No modification, execution, or deletion of resources occurs; it retrieves and lists existing project metadata.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs docker_compose_projects safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For docker_compose_projects, this is the rule to start with:

docker_compose_projects Allowed

docker_compose_projects is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "docker_compose_projects": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every docker_compose_projects call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about docker_compose_projects

What does the docker_compose_projects tool do? +

Discover docker-compose.yml / compose.yaml projects on the Ubuntu server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on docker_compose_projects? +

Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for docker_compose_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 Control Plane. Nothing to install.

What risk level is docker_compose_projects? +

docker_compose_projects is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit docker_compose_projects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the docker_compose_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.

How do I block docker_compose_projects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for docker_compose_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.

What MCP server provides docker_compose_projects? +

docker_compose_projects is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
