📂 [PRIORITY 2 - EXPLORE] List all files within a specific project. Use after list_projects to discover what files exist before reading them. Critical for understanding project content.
AI agents call list_project_files to retrieve information from Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and enumerates file metadata within a project scope. It performs no mutations, deletions, or external operations—purely a read query against the MongoDB-backed memory bank. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an agent, as listing files poses no data destruction or irreversible action risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_project_files' and description 'List all files within a specific project' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The phrase 'discover what files exist' confirms this is a query/exploration operation with no side effects.

📂 [PRIORITY 2 - EXPLORE] List all files within a specific project. Use after list_projects to discover what files exist before reading them. Critical for understanding project content. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_project_files: 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 Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb. Nothing to install.
list_project_files 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_files 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_files. 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_files is provided by the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP server (sato-isolated/memory-bank-mcp-mongo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
