Why resolveComment needs a policy

Resolving a comment is a state modification that changes pull request review metadata in a reversible way—the action can be undone by unresolving the comment. This is Write category (modifies data reversibly), not Read (no side effects) or Destructive (not irreversible).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolveComment' and description 'Resolve a comment thread on a pull request' indicates the tool modifies the state of a comment (marking it as resolved), which is a reversible change to pull request metadata.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access resolveComment gives an agent:

How to control resolveComment

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bitbucket MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for resolveComment:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resolveComment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "resolvecomment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

resolveComment stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Bitbucket MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
