WHAT IT DOES

What list_projects does on Android Code Search MCP Server

AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Android Code Search MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why list_projects needs a policy

This tool retrieves metadata about available projects without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk of misuse by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_projects' and description 'List available Android source projects' indicate a query/listing operation with no modifications.

POLICY

How to control list_projects

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_projects": {}
  }
}

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

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