Attach one or more tags to a MantisBT issue. Each tag can be specified either by ID or by name. If a tag name is provided that does not exist yet, MantisBT will create it automatically (requires tag_create_threshold permission, default: REPORTER).

AI agents use attach_tags to create or update resources in MantisBT MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MantisBT MCP Server environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
tags | array | Yes | Tags to attach — each entry needs at least id or name |
issue_id | integer | Yes | Numeric issue ID |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool creates or modifies data reversibly. Attaching tags changes issue state and may create new tags, but these changes are non-destructive and can be undone by detaching tags (evidenced by the sibling tool 'detach_tag').
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Attach one or more tags to a MantisBT issue' and 'If a tag name is provided that does not exist yet, MantisBT will create it automatically'. This modifies issue metadata by adding tags and potentially creates new tag entities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Attach one or more tags to a MantisBT issue. Each tag can be specified either by ID or by name. If a tag name is provided that does not exist yet, MantisBT will create it automatically (requires tag_create_threshold permission, default: REPORTER). Requires tag_attach_threshold permission (default: REPORTER). It is categorised as a Write tool in the MantisBT MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
attach_tags accepts 2 parameters: tags, issue_id. Required: tags, issue_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the MantisBT MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for attach_tags: 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 MantisBT MCP Server. Nothing to install.
attach_tags is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the attach_tags 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 attach_tags. 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.
attach_tags is provided by the MantisBT MCP Server MCP server (@dpesch/mantisbt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
