Get compact minified project overview (10-50x smaller than source). Returns legend, stats, node summaries, file imports, and W web component summaries when present.
AI agents call get_skeleton to retrieve information from Project Graph without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and presents a read-only summary of project structure, imports, and statistics. It performs no mutations, deletions, or external operations—only fetches and displays aggregated project metadata. The 10-50x compression is achieved through selective summarization of existing data, not by creating, modifying, or destroying anything.
From the tool's definition Tool description uses read-only language: 'Get compact minified project overview', 'Returns legend, stats, node summaries, file imports'. The verb 'Get' and 'Returns' indicate data retrieval with no modification capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get compact minified project overview (10-50x smaller than source). Returns legend, stats, node summaries, file imports, and W web component summaries when present. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Project Graph MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Project Graph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_skeleton: 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 Project Graph. Nothing to install.
get_skeleton 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_skeleton 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_skeleton. 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_skeleton is provided by the Project Graph MCP server (rnd-pro/project-graph-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
