AI agents call get_issue_relation to retrieve information from Redmine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation. It queries and returns information about an issue relation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The [Alpha] designation suggests early development but does not change the fundamental read-only nature of the operation. Blast radius is minimal—unauthorized read access to issue relations poses low risk.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves a single Redmine issue relation by numeric ID. The verb 'Get' and context of querying existing data with no modification indicate read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
[Alpha] Get a single Redmine issue relation by its numeric ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Redmine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Redmine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_issue_relation: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Redmine. Nothing to install.
get_issue_relation is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_issue_relation rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_issue_relation. 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.
get_issue_relation is provided by the Redmine MCP server (jesusr00/mcp-server-redmine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
