detect_projects
AI agents call detect_projects to retrieve information from Metis Public Health without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'detect_projects' suggests information retrieval or discovery functionality. Without a description, confidence is moderate. The absence of action verbs like 'create', 'delete', 'execute', or 'run' suggests non-destructive analysis. Sibling tools are predominantly read/write operations (memory entries, glossary terms), and this fits the pattern of a discovery/query tool.

detect_projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Metis Public Health MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Metis Public Health MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_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 Metis Public Health. Nothing to install.
detect_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 detect_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 detect_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.
detect_projects is provided by the Metis Public Health MCP server (sveritg/metis_ph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
