List projects in the active Speckle workspace.
AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Bim Change Engine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns project data without side effects, modification, or execution capabilities. It is a straightforward informational retrieval operation. The low severity reflects that listing projects poses minimal risk; the information returned is typically organizational metadata accessible to authenticated users.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_projects' and description states 'List projects in the active Speckle workspace' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List projects in the active Speckle workspace. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bim Change Engine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bim Change Engine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Bim Change Engine. Nothing to install.
list_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 list_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 list_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.
list_projects is provided by the Bim Change Engine MCP server (rishibajaj-prodman/bim-change-engine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_projects is one line of Bim Change Engine's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
