🔍 [PRIORITY 1 - START HERE] List all projects in the memory bank. ALWAYS use this first to discover available projects before any other operation. Essential for understanding workspace structure.
AI agents call list_projects 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 displays information about existing projects without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and safe for enumeration purposes. The lack of any mutating operations, destructive actions, or external side effects places it firmly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'List all projects' and uses the verb 'List', which is a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.

🔍 [PRIORITY 1 - START HERE] List all projects in the memory bank. ALWAYS use this first to discover available projects before any other operation. Essential for understanding workspace structure. 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_projects: 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_projects 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_projects 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_projects. 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_projects 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.
