AI agents call get_projects to retrieve information from Rize without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project information from the Rize time tracking system. It queries existing data with optional filters but performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of commands. The operation is read-only with no side effects, making it a Read category risk with low severity since it only exposes project metadata that users would already have access to within their own Rize account.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_projects' and description 'List all projects with optional filtering' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'list' and 'get' are characteristic of Read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all projects with optional filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Rize MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Rize MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Rize. Nothing to install.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_projects is provided by the Rize MCP server (rize-io/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
