query_items
AI agents call query_items to retrieve information from Mcp Jenkins without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name 'query_items' implies a read/search operation, consistent with sibling tools like 'get_all_items' that retrieve data. However, the empty description lowers confidence. Based on naming convention and context of sibling tools (most of which are read operations like get_build, get_all_nodes), this is likely a read tool. Severity is low as misuse would at most expose Jenkins job/item metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_items' suggests querying/retrieving items; description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
query_items. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Jenkins MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Jenkins MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_items: 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 Mcp Jenkins. Nothing to install.
query_items 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 query_items 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 query_items. 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.
query_items is provided by the Mcp Jenkins MCP server (lanbaoshen/mcp-jenkins). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
