AI agents call nanostores_project_outline to retrieve information from Nanostores MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
projectRoot | string | — | Project root path (uses default if omitted) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves and analyzes project metadata to generate debugging insights. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The description emphasizes querying and summarizing existing scan data ('same scan data, smaller response'), which is characteristic of Read operations.
From the tool's definition Tool provides 'quick overview' and 'compact summary' of Nanostores usage data, returning aggregated statistics like 'store kind distribution, top directories, and hub stores ranked by connectivity' without modification capabilities.

Use this for a quick overview of Nanostores usage in the project — store kind distribution, top directories, and hub stores ranked by connectivity. Returns a compact summary instead of full store/subscriber lists (same scan data, smaller response). Use nanostores_scan_project when you need the complete list of stores and relations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Nanostores MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
nanostores_project_outline accepts 1 parameter: projectRoot. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Nanostores MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nanostores_project_outline: 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 Nanostores MCP. Nothing to install.
nanostores_project_outline 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 nanostores_project_outline 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 nanostores_project_outline. 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.
nanostores_project_outline is provided by the Nanostores MCP server (nanostores-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
