List npm packages enabled for a project, with version info and update availability
AI agents call list_project_packages to retrieve information from Prowpt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query to retrieve and display metadata about npm packages associated with a project. It has no side effects, does not modify state, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It falls clearly within the 'Read' category as a data retrieval function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_project_packages' and description 'List npm packages enabled for a project, with version info and update availability' indicate a retrieval operation that queries package information without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List npm packages enabled for a project, with version info and update availability. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prowpt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_project_packages: 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 Prowpt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_project_packages 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_project_packages 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_project_packages. 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_project_packages is provided by the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server (prowptai/prowpt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
