Search Confluence using CQL (Confluence Query Language)
AI agents call searchConfluenceUsingCql to retrieve information from Atlassian Multi without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only search operation against Confluence using CQL (Confluence Query Language), analogous to database queries. It retrieves or filters existing content but does not create, modify, delete, or execute external actions. The primary risk is information disclosure if sensitive content is returned, but misuse is limited by query scope and Confluence's access controls.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'search' and description specifies 'Search Confluence using CQL' — a query operation that retrieves data without modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search Confluence using CQL (Confluence Query Language). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Atlassian Multi MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Atlassian Multi MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for searchConfluenceUsingCql: 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 Atlassian Multi. Nothing to install.
searchConfluenceUsingCql 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 searchConfluenceUsingCql 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 searchConfluenceUsingCql. 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.
searchConfluenceUsingCql is provided by the Atlassian Multi MCP server (ntlongctt/atlassian-multi-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
