Personal self-improvement / creative / learning projects (Spanish, book writing, garden expansion). Distinct from house_projects.
AI agents call personal_projects to retrieve information from Personal Brain without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries stored personal project data for informational purposes. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not modify data, and does not involve financial transactions.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Personal self-improvement / creative / learning projects (Spanish, book writing, garden expansion). Distinct from house_projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Personal Brain MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Personal Brain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for personal_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 Personal Brain. Nothing to install.
personal_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 personal_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 personal_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.
personal_projects is provided by the Personal Brain MCP server (phantomts/personal-brain-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
