WHAT IT DOES

What jira_add_comment does on ScopeGate

AI agents use jira_add_comment to create or update resources in ScopeGate, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScopeGate environment.

RISK

Why jira_add_comment is rated Medium

Adding a comment creates and attaches new content to a Jira issue, which is a write operation. While reversible (unlike destructive actions), it modifies shared work-tracking data that other team members may rely on. Severity is medium because misuse could spam issues, create misleading information, or disrupt team communication, but the impact is scoped to a single issue and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'jira_add_comment' and description 'Add a comment to a Jira issue' indicate creation of new data (a comment) that modifies an existing issue. This is reversible via comment deletion or editing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs jira_add_comment safely

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

jira_add_comment Rate-limited

jira_add_comment stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "jira_add_comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "jira_add_comment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScopeGate, apply this rule, and every jira_add_comment call is checked against it from then on.
