Get a smart-compressed project structure optimized for LLM context. Collapses deep branches, deduplicates patterns, summarizes large script bodies. More token-efficient than get_file_tree for initial project understanding. Returns: Compressed tree with service summaries and script counts.
AI agents call get_project_structure to retrieve information from Melo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and summarizes project metadata for informational purposes only. It performs read-only operations—querying the project structure and presenting compressed information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as an AI agent cannot cause harm by requesting a project structure view.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] a smart-compressed project structure' and 'Returns: Compressed tree with service summaries and script counts.' The verbs 'Get' and 'Returns' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Get a smart-compressed project structure optimized for LLM context. Collapses deep branches, deduplicates patterns, summarizes large script bodies. More token-efficient than get_file_tree for initial project understanding. Returns: Compressed tree with service summaries and script counts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Melo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Melo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project_structure: 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 Melo. Nothing to install.
get_project_structure 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 get_project_structure 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 get_project_structure. 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.
get_project_structure is provided by the Melo MCP server (yannyhl/linkedsword-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
