Get a specific IP whitelist entry for the project (legacy)
AI agents call project_whitelist_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 an existing IP whitelist entry for a project without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has no side effects beyond returning information. The 'legacy' designation suggests it may be superseded but does not change its read-only nature. Blast radius is minimal since it only exposes existing network access configuration data that an authorized user would already have visibility into.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get a specific IP whitelist entry', indicating data retrieval with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific IP whitelist entry for the project (legacy). 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_whitelist_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_whitelist_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_whitelist_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_whitelist_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_whitelist_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.
