Why find_project_by_pattern needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries project information based on a search pattern without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only lookup operation, consistent with other Read-category tools like 'list_models' and 'get_project_stats' on the same server.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find ClearML projects by name pattern' which is a search/query operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'find' and the pattern-matching nature indicate data retrieval only.

How to control find_project_by_pattern

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Clearml, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for find_project_by_pattern:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_project_by_pattern": {}
  }
}

find_project_by_pattern is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Clearml — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
