List available Confluence spaces with optional filtering.
AI agents call list_spaces to retrieve information from Confluence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of Confluence spaces without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward enumeration endpoint that provides metadata about available spaces. The optional filtering parameter does not change the fundamental read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_spaces' and description 'List available Confluence spaces' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The word 'list' is a canonical Read operation verb.

List available Confluence spaces with optional filtering. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Confluence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Confluence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_spaces: 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 Confluence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_spaces 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 list_spaces 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 list_spaces. 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.
list_spaces is provided by the Confluence MCP Server MCP server (mahithchigurupati/confluence-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
