Analyze project structure, create initial documentation files, and enhance with metadata/context

How to control analyze_project_with_metadata ↓

AI agents use analyze_project_with_metadata 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.

Medium Risk

This tool analyzes a project and creates new documentation files with metadata. Creation of files is a Write operation. While analysis is a Read operation, the primary side effect is creating/writing new documentation files. It's reversible (files can be deleted), so Destructive doesn't apply.

From the tool's definition 'create initial documentation files, and enhance with metadata/context'

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_project_with_metadata 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_with_metadata:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_project_with_metadata": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "analyze_project_with_metadata_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

analyze_project_with_metadata 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Rtfm — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the analyze_project_with_metadata tool do? +

Analyze project structure, create initial documentation files, and enhance with metadata/context. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on analyze_project_with_metadata? +

Register the Mcp Rtfm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_project_with_metadata: 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.

What risk level is analyze_project_with_metadata? +

analyze_project_with_metadata is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit analyze_project_with_metadata? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analyze_project_with_metadata 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.

How do I block analyze_project_with_metadata completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for analyze_project_with_metadata. 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.

What MCP server provides analyze_project_with_metadata? +

analyze_project_with_metadata 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.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Rtfm tool call.
