AI agents call list_projects to retrieve information from Godot Devtool without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward directory listing operation with no side effects. It queries the filesystem to discover Godot projects but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. This is a classic Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'list_projects' and description 'List Godot projects in a directory' indicate it retrieves and enumerates existing projects without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_projects gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Godot Devtool, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_projects:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_projects": {}
}
}list_projects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List Godot projects in a directory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Godot Devtool MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Godot Devtool MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Godot Devtool. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
list_projects is provided by the Godot Devtool MCP server (wangdiandao/godot-devtool). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
