Retrieve all projects for a specific user
AI agents call getUserProjects 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 associated with a user from the 42 intranet API. It performs a read-only query with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius is limited to potential information disclosure, which is low risk in a controlled institutional context. Confidence is high because the description explicitly uses 'Retrieve,' a clear read-operation verb.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getUserProjects' and description 'Retrieve all projects for a specific user' indicate a query operation that fetches data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve all projects for a specific user. 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 getUserProjects: 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.
getUserProjects 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 getUserProjects 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 getUserProjects. 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.
getUserProjects 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.
