What get_issues does on Tideways MCP Server
AI agents call get_issues to retrieve information from Tideways MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_issues is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves performance monitoring data from the Tideways system. The verb 'retrieve' and the format specification 'in JSON format' confirm it is a read-only operation that extracts existing diagnostic data without side effects. It aligns with the sibling tools (get_historical_data, get_performance_metrics, get_performance_summary, get_traces) which are all data retrieval functions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_issues' and description 'Retrieve and analyze recent errors, exceptions, and performance issues in JSON format' indicate data retrieval only. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_issues safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tideways MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_issues, this is the rule to start with:
get_issues is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tideways MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_issues call is checked against it from then on.
