MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Redmine tools

Destructive · High delete_group Deleting a group is an irreversible action that removes a user group from the Redmine system, affecting access controls and organizational structure. Destructive · High delete_issue This tool permanently and irreversibly deletes an issue from Redmine, removing data that cannot be recovered. Destructive · High delete_relation This tool irreversibly deletes issue relations (dependencies, blocks, relates_to relationships between issues), which cannot be automatically recovered. Destructive · High delete_time_entry This tool permanently removes time entry records from Redmine, which cannot be undone.

26 of Redmine's 59 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Redmine

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Redmine, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_group": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_issue_note": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_issue_note_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "download_attachment": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "download_attachment_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Redmine — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Redmine

Can an AI agent delete data through the Redmine MCP server? +

Yes. The Redmine server exposes 8 destructive tools including delete_group, delete_issue, delete_relation. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Redmine? +

The Redmine server has 18 write tools including add_issue_note, add_project_member, add_user_to_group. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Redmine.

How many tools does the Redmine MCP server expose? +

59 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 33 are read-only. 26 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Redmine? +

Register the Redmine MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Redmine tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 59 Redmine tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
