Return the user utilization data. This endpoint provides detailed information about user utilization, including billable and non-billable time, availability, and various utilization metrics.
AI agents call getProjectsPeopleUtilization to retrieve information from Teamwork MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves utilization metrics about users (billable/non-billable time, availability, utilization metrics). It performs no data modification, deletion, or external execution. The data returned could be sensitive (employee time tracking), but the read-only nature and lack of side effects place it firmly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getProjectsPeopleUtilization' and description state it 'provides detailed information' and 'Return the user utilization data' - these are retrieval operations with no modification or destructive capabilities.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getProjectsPeopleUtilization gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Teamwork MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getProjectsPeopleUtilization:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getProjectsPeopleUtilization": {}
}
}getProjectsPeopleUtilization is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Return the user utilization data. This endpoint provides detailed information about user utilization, including billable and non-billable time, availability, and various utilization metrics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Teamwork MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Teamwork MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getProjectsPeopleUtilization: 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 Teamwork MCP. Nothing to install.
getProjectsPeopleUtilization 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 getProjectsPeopleUtilization 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 getProjectsPeopleUtilization. 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.
getProjectsPeopleUtilization is provided by the Teamwork MCP server (vizioz/teamwork-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Teamwork MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
