RISK

Why jira_create_issue is rated Medium

Creating a Jira issue modifies project state by adding a new record, but this is not destructive since issues can be deleted or archived. It is not Execute (no code/command execution), Financial, or Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could create many unwanted issues causing operational noise and project management disruption, but the impact is bounded and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'jira_create_issue' and description 'Create a Jira issue' explicitly state the action creates a new issue in Jira, which is a reversible write operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs jira_create_issue safely

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

jira_create_issue Rate-limited

jira_create_issue 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_create_issue": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "jira_create_issue_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 UnClick, apply this rule, and every jira_create_issue call is checked against it from then on.
