Get a specific access list entry for the project
AI agents call project_access_list_get to retrieve information from MongoDB Atlas MCP Server 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 access list entries for a project without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing access control information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_access_list_get' and description 'Get a specific access list entry for the project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific access list entry for the project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MongoDB Atlas MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MongoDB Atlas MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_access_list_get: 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 MongoDB Atlas MCP Server. Nothing to install.
project_access_list_get 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 project_access_list_get 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 project_access_list_get. 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.
project_access_list_get is provided by the MongoDB Atlas MCP Server MCP server (montumodi/mongodb-atlas-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
