AI agents call testmo_list_projects to retrieve information from Testmo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists project information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only query that returns metadata about projects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—exposure would reveal project names and IDs but cause no data loss or unwanted changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'testmo_list_projects' and description 'List all accessible Testmo projects. Returns project IDs, names, and metadata.' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all accessible Testmo projects. Returns project IDs, names, and metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Testmo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Testmo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for testmo_list_projects: 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 Testmo. Nothing to install.
testmo_list_projects 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 testmo_list_projects 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 testmo_list_projects. 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.
testmo_list_projects is provided by the Testmo MCP server (strelec00/testmo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
