Returns all API projects that have been set up via generate-swagger-json.
AI agents call list-projects to retrieve information from Swagger MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of existing API projects. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations. The action is purely informational retrieval with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, an agent learns what projects exist, which is low-risk information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-projects' and description 'Returns all API projects' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns all API projects that have been set up via generate-swagger-json. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Swagger MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Swagger MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list-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 Swagger MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list-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-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-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-projects is provided by the Swagger MCP Server MCP server (nksmkj7/swagger-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
