list_projects
AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from MCP-APIKit without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool fetches or queries project data from the Eolink OpenAPI management system. No side effects are indicated. It belongs to the read category as it retrieves information for display in the IDE. Severity is low because listing projects poses minimal risk—it exposes metadata that developers already have access to within their development environment, with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_projects' combined with sibling tools 'get_api', 'get_project', 'list_apis', 'search_apis' which are all read-only query operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP-APIKit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP-APIKit 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 MCP-APIKit. 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 MCP-APIKit MCP server (scarqin/mcp-apikit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
