AI agents call list_side_projects to retrieve information from Resume without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or enumerates side project information from local resume/application documents. No side effects, modifications, deletions, or external actions are implied. Consistent with the server's stated purpose of browsing and searching personal documents.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_side_projects' indicates data retrieval; sibling tools on this server ('get_achievement', 'get_education', 'get_resume', 'get_work_experience') are all read-only accessors for personal documents.

Register the Resume MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_side_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 Resume. Nothing to install.
list_side_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_side_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_side_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_side_projects is provided by the Resume MCP server (mnoomnoo/resume-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
