AI agents call discover_project to retrieve information from CoordMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'discover_project' most naturally indicates retrieval or querying of project information to find or enumerate available projects. In the context of a coordination server for multi-agent collaboration, this is a read-only operation that retrieves data about existing projects. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the semantic meaning of 'discover' aligns with Read operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'discover_project' indicates a lookup or discovery operation, consistent with Read-category operations like 'get' and 'list'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
discover_project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CoordMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coord MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discover_project: 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 CoordMCP. Nothing to install.
discover_project 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 discover_project 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 discover_project. 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.
discover_project is provided by the Coord MCP server (siddiquesahabaj/coordmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
