Get all fix versions for a specific Jira project.
AI agents call get_project_versions to retrieve information from MCP Atlassian without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves metadata about fix versions associated with a Jira project. It is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate project versions but cannot alter project state or access sensitive data beyond version information already discoverable through normal Jira navigation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_versions' and description 'Get all fix versions for a specific Jira project' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion. No side effects or state changes are performed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all fix versions for a specific Jira project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Atlassian MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Atlassian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_project_versions: 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 Atlassian. Nothing to install.
get_project_versions 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_project_versions 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_project_versions. 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_project_versions is provided by the MCP Atlassian MCP server (lklkxcxc/mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
