Get the current Google Cloud project ID and recent project history
AI agents call gcp-utils-get-project-id to retrieve information from GCP Billing and Monitoring MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project identification and history metadata. It performs no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute operations, and does not create financial obligations. It is a straightforward Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it only returns information already accessible to the authenticated GCP principal.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get the current Google Cloud project ID and recent project history' — purely a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands. Returns metadata about the current project context.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current Google Cloud project ID and recent project history. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GCP Billing and Monitoring MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GCP Billing and Monitoring MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gcp-utils-get-project-id: 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 GCP Billing and Monitoring MCP Server. Nothing to install.
gcp-utils-get-project-id 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 gcp-utils-get-project-id 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 gcp-utils-get-project-id. 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.
gcp-utils-get-project-id is provided by the GCP Billing and Monitoring MCP Server MCP server (radiumgu/gcp-billing-and-monitoring-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
