Performs a search for Confluence pages using Confluence Query Language (CQL). This is useful for finding pages that match specific criteria.
AI agents call search_confluence_pages 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 Confluence pages using CQL to retrieve matching results. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this could retrieve unintended pages but cannot cause data loss, financial impact, or execute external code.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Performs a search for Confluence pages' and is 'useful for finding pages that match specific criteria.' The verb 'search' and the purpose of 'finding' pages indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Performs a search for Confluence pages using Confluence Query Language (CQL). This is useful for finding pages that match specific criteria. 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 search_confluence_pages: 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.
search_confluence_pages 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 search_confluence_pages 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 search_confluence_pages. 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.
search_confluence_pages 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.
