WHAT IT DOES

What zephyr_get_projects does on SmartBear MCP

AI agents call zephyr_get_projects to retrieve information from SmartBear MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`startAt`	number	—	Zero-indexed starting position. Should be a multiple of maxResults.
`maxResults`	number	—	Specifies the maximum number of results to return in a single call. The default value is 10, and the maximum value that can be requested is 1000. Note that the

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why zephyr_get_projects is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that queries and returns project information from Zephyr with no side effects. The pagination parameters confirm it is a read-only list/fetch operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get details of projects'. Parameters are limited to pagination controls (maxResults, startAt) with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs zephyr_get_projects safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SmartBear MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For zephyr_get_projects, this is the rule to start with:

zephyr_get_projects Allowed

zephyr_get_projects is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "zephyr_get_projects": {}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SmartBear MCP, apply this rule, and every zephyr_get_projects call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about zephyr_get_projects

What does the zephyr_get_projects tool do? +

Get details of projects in Zephyr Parameters: - maxResults (number): Specifies the maximum number of results to return in a single call.

Always check the maxResults value in the response to confirm how many results were actually returned. (default: 10) - startAt (number): Zero-indexed starting position. Should be a multiple of maxResults. (default: 0) Examples: 1. Get the first 10 projects json { "maxResults": 10, "startAt": 0 } Expected Output: The first 10 projects with their details 2. Get any project json { "maxResults": 1 } Expected Output: One project with its details 3. Get five projects starting from the 7th project of the list json { "maxResults": 5, "startAt": 6 } Expected Output: The 7th to the 11th projects with their details. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SmartBear MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
