List all configured projects
AI agents call list_available_projects to retrieve information from Engmanager without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project configuration information without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or affecting financial systems. It is a straightforward query operation that returns structured data about existing projects.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description both indicate a listing operation ('list all configured projects'). The verb 'list' and the retrieval-only nature of enumerating projects confirm this is a Read operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all configured projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Engmanager MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Engmanager MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_available_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 Engmanager. Nothing to install.
list_available_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_available_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_available_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_available_projects is provided by the Engmanager MCP server (scarr7981/engmanager-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
