search_issues

What search_issues does on Ncp

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

Why search_issues is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only search operation against Jira issues using Jira Query Language (JQL). It retrieves and returns issue data but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius is minimal: misuse could expose issue information visibility patterns or cause API rate limiting, but cannot alter system state or cause financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_issues' and description states 'Search Jira issues using JQL' — a query operation that retrieves data without modifying it.

The rule that runs search_issues safely

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

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