AI agents call list_my_projects to retrieve information from Zentao without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of projects the user participates in. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The caveat about reliability for project-set-only bugs does not change the fundamental nature of the operation—it is still a retrieval. Severity is low because listing projects poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_my_projects' and description 'List projects I participate in' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List projects I participate in (heuristic filtering). Not reliable for project-set-only bugs when the project set has no concrete projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zentao MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Zentao MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_my_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 Zentao. Nothing to install.
list_my_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_my_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_my_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_my_projects is provided by the Zentao MCP server (@aipper/zentao-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_my_projects is one line of Zentao's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
