Analyze project structure and create initial documentation files
AI agents use analyze_project to create or update resources in Mcp Rtfm — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Rtfm environment.
The tool creates new documentation files based on project analysis. 'Create initial documentation files' clearly indicates a Write operation — it produces new artifacts. While it also reads the project structure, the dominant effect is writing/creating documentation. It is reversible (files can be deleted), so it does not reach Destructive.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Rtfm, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze_project": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "analyze_project_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}analyze_project stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Analyze project structure and create initial documentation files. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Rtfm MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Rtfm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_project: 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 Mcp Rtfm. Nothing to install.
analyze_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analyze_project 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 analyze_project. 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.
analyze_project is provided by the Mcp Rtfm MCP server (ryanjoachim/mcp-rtfm). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
