Get spaces from a ClickUp workspace. Returns space details including name, settings, and features.
AI agents call get_spaces to retrieve information from ClickUp MCP Sedrver without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries workspace space details (name, settings, features) without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—an AI agent using it cannot cause harm beyond potentially accessing information it shouldn't see, which is a lower-severity concern than modification or deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_spaces' and description 'Get spaces from a ClickUp workspace. Returns space details...' indicate data retrieval with no modification capability.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_spaces gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ClickUp MCP Sedrver, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_spaces:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_spaces": {}
}
}get_spaces is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
