List all projects in a given Ory Network workspace
AI agents call listProjects to retrieve information from MCP SSE Ory Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and returns project data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only operation that falls squarely into the Read category. Severity is low because listing projects provides visibility but no direct risk of data loss, financial impact, or unauthorized execution. Confidence is high because the intent is unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'listProjects' and description states 'List all projects in a given Ory Network workspace' — this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all projects in a given Ory Network workspace. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP SSE Ory Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP SSE Ory Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for listProjects: 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 MCP SSE Ory Server. Nothing to install.
listProjects 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 listProjects 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 listProjects. 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.
listProjects is provided by the MCP SSE Ory Server MCP server (ory/mcp-sse). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
