AI agents call list_project_types to retrieve information from Filevine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about configured project types in the organization. It is a read-only query that returns configuration information with no ability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI could only learn about available project types, which is low-sensitivity organizational configuration data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_project_types' and description 'List all project (matter) types configured in the organisation' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all project (matter) types configured in the organisation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Filevine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Filevine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_project_types: 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 Filevine. Nothing to install.
list_project_types 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_types 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_types. 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_types is provided by the Filevine MCP server (rosenadvertising/filevine-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
