Read a workspace file safely with project-root sandboxing.
AI agents call read_project_file to retrieve information from MCP SAPUI5 Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file contents from the workspace within defined boundaries (project-root sandboxing), with no capability to modify, execute, or delete data. The sandboxing mechanism further limits risk by preventing access outside the project scope. Risk is low as misuse would only expose non-sensitive project source code that developers already have access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'read_project_file' combined with description 'Read a workspace file safely with project-root sandboxing' explicitly indicates data retrieval without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read a workspace file safely with project-root sandboxing. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for read_project_file: 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 SAPUI5 Server. Nothing to install.
read_project_file 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 read_project_file 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 read_project_file. 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.
read_project_file is provided by the MCP SAPUI5 Server MCP server (santiagosanmartinn/mcpui5server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
