Why listProjects needs a policy

The name 'listProjects' strongly suggests querying or enumerating project data without modification. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention aligns with Read operations. This appears to be a simple data retrieval with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'listProjects' indicates a retrieval operation typical of Read category tools (list, get, fetch). No description provided to confirm side effects.

How to control listProjects

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Server Generator, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for listProjects:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "listProjects": {}
  }
}

listProjects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Server Generator — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
