Get information about the currently active project, including stats on memories and tasks.
AI agents call get_current_project to retrieve information from AgentCortex MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata and statistics about a project (memories count, tasks count, etc.) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_current_project' and description 'Get information about the currently active project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the currently active project, including stats on memories and tasks. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AgentCortex MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AgentCortex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_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 AgentCortex MCP. Nothing to install.
get_current_project 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_current_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 get_current_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.
get_current_project is provided by the AgentCortex MCP server (sage-hq/agentcortex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
