Medium Risk

bb_post

Create Bitbucket resources. Returns TOON format by default (token-efficient). **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** - Use `jq` param to extract only needed fields from response (e.g., `jq: "{id: id, title: title}"`) - Unfiltered responses include all metadata and are expensive! **Output format:** ...

Accepts file system path (path); Accepts raw HTML/template content (body)

Part of the Atlassian Bitbucket MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use bb_post to create or modify resources in Atlassian Bitbucket. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call bb_post repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Atlassian Bitbucket.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the bb_post tool do? +

Create Bitbucket resources. Returns TOON format by default (token-efficient). **IMPORTANT - Cost Optimization:** - Use `jq` param to extract only needed fields from response (e.g., `jq: "{id: id, title: title}"`) - Unfiltered responses include all metadata and are expensive! **Output format:** TOON (default) or JSON (`outputFormat: "json"`) **Common operations:** 1. **Create PR:** `/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests` body: `{"title": "...", "source": {"branch": {"name": "feature"}}, "destination": {"branch": {"name": "main"}}}` 2. **Add PR comment:** `/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{id}/comments` body: `{"content": {"raw": "Comment text"}}` 3. **Approve PR:** `/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{id}/approve` body: `{}` 4. **Request changes:** `/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{id}/request-changes` body: `{}` 5. **Merge PR:** `/repositories/{workspace}/{repo}/pullrequests/{id}/merge` body: `{"merge_strategy": "squash"}` (strategies: merge_commit, squash, fast_forward) The `/2.0` prefix is added automatically. API reference: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Atlassian Bitbucket MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on bb_post? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for bb_post. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Atlassian Bitbucket MCP server.

What risk level is bb_post? +

bb_post is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit bb_post? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bb_post rule in your Intercept 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 bb_post completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for bb_post. 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 bb_post? +

bb_post is provided by the Atlassian Bitbucket MCP server (@aashari/mcp-server-atlassian-bitbucket). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
