AI agents call redmine_get_issue 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 is a straightforward data retrieval operation that fetches existing issue information without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The blast radius is minimal as it only returns information already stored in Redmine. Severity is low because unauthorized read access to issue details has limited immediate impact compared to write or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'full details of a single Redmine issue by its numeric ID' with no modification capability mentioned. Operations are queries for 'description, status, dates, journals (comments) and attachments'—all read-only retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
[Stable] Get full details of a single Redmine issue by its numeric ID, including description, status, dates, and optional extras like journals (comments) and attachments. 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 redmine_get_issue: 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.
redmine_get_issue 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 redmine_get_issue 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 redmine_get_issue. 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.
redmine_get_issue 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.
