Why list_project_files needs a policy

The tool appears to list or enumerate Pascal/Delphi project files, a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects. Despite the empty description, the naming convention and context among sibling tools strongly indicate this is a Read category tool. Confidence is moderate-high due to the clear naming semantics, but slightly reduced due to lack of explicit documentation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_project_files' indicates a listing/querying operation with no modification capability. Sibling tools include 'adb_devices', 'adb_list_packages' which are clearly Read operations, suggesting a consistent pattern of data retrieval on this server.

How to control list_project_files

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

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

list_project_files 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 Claude Pascal 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.
