asana_list_projects

List all projects in an Asana workspace.

How to control asana_list_projects ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool queries and retrieves project data from Asana without making changes. It is a standard Read operation. Severity is low because listing projects exposes metadata but does not directly enable data exfiltration, financial transactions, or destructive actions—though an AI agent could use the output to inform subsequent operations. Confidence is high due to clear, unambiguous language.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'asana_list_projects' and description 'List all projects in an Asana workspace' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or side effects.

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

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

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

asana_list_projects 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 autoMate — 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.

How do I enforce a policy on asana_list_projects? +

Register the autoMate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for asana_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 autoMate. Nothing to install.

What risk level is asana_list_projects? +

asana_list_projects is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit asana_list_projects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the asana_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.

How do I block asana_list_projects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for asana_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.

What MCP server provides asana_list_projects? +

asana_list_projects is provided by the autoMate MCP server (yuruotong1/automate). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every autoMate tool call.
