WHAT IT DOES

What issue-comment does on Build

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

RISK

Why issue-comment is rated Medium

The tool performs reversible modifications to issue comments in what is likely a GitHub or similar issue-tracking system. While it can delete comments, the deletion is of individual comments within an issue context rather than bulk data destruction, and the operation could theoretically be reversed by re-adding the comment. This makes it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Adds, edits, or deletes a comment on an issue.' This is a write operation that modifies data (creates new comments, updates existing ones, or removes them).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs issue-comment safely

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

issue-comment Rate-limited

issue-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": {
    "issue-comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "issue-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 Build, apply this rule, and every issue-comment call is checked against it from then on.

What risk level is issue-comment? +

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

Can I rate-limit issue-comment? +

How do I block issue-comment completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for issue-comment. 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.
