List all sprints for a specific Agile board. Can filter by sprint state (active, closed, or future) to find current or historical sprints.
AI agents call list_sprints_for_board 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 returns sprint information from a Jira board without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves existing sprint metadata. The ability to filter results does not change its fundamental read-only nature. Low severity because disclosure of sprint planning information has limited blast radius in typical misuse scenarios.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List all sprints' and 'filter by sprint state' - purely retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all sprints for a specific Agile board. Can filter by sprint state (active, closed, or future) to find current or historical sprints. 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 list_sprints_for_board: 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.
list_sprints_for_board 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_sprints_for_board 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_sprints_for_board. 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_sprints_for_board is provided by the Mcp Atlassian MCP server (mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
