list_cycles

What list_cycles does on Plane

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

Why list_cycles is rated Low

This tool performs a straightforward data retrieval operation (list/fetch) with no side effects, state changes, or external operations triggered. It falls squarely within the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving cycle information poses minimal risk—it neither modifies data, executes code, nor exposes sensitive operations that could be misused for harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_cycles' and description 'List all cycles in a project' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves cycle data without modification or execution.

The rule that runs list_cycles safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_cycles, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_cycles": {}
  }
}
