Get all teams for a given project ID
AI agents call project_get_teams 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 team information associated with a project. It performs a query/fetch operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of team membership data, which is low severity in a MongoDB Atlas management context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_get_teams' and description 'Get all teams for a given project ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all teams for a given project ID. 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_get_teams: 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_get_teams 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_get_teams 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_get_teams. 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_get_teams 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.
