How to control get_project_details ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool retrieves project information without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation that returns data. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly or retrieves unintended project details, as no data is altered or actions triggered.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific project' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_project_details gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_project_details": {}
  }
}

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

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