Retrieve projects with optional cursus or project filters
AI agents call getProjects to retrieve information from 42 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project data from 42's intranet API with optional filtering parameters. The verb 'Retrieve' and the read-only nature of the operation (no create, update, delete, or execute semantics) clearly indicate a Read classification. The severity is low because project retrieval has minimal blast radius—projects are typically non-sensitive organizational data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getProjects' and description states 'Retrieve projects' — a query operation with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve projects with optional cursus or project filters. It is categorised as a Read tool in the 42 MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the 42 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getProjects: 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 42 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getProjects 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 getProjects 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 getProjects. 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.
getProjects is provided by the 42 MCP Server MCP server (smizuoch/42-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
getProjects is one line of 42 MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
