Get the raw content of a file from a Bitbucket repository
AI agents call bb_get_file to retrieve information from Bitbucket Cloud MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves file content from a repository without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes data already accessible to the authenticated user.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bb_get_file' and description 'Get the raw content of a file from a Bitbucket repository' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modifications or side effects.

Register the Bitbucket Cloud MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bb_get_file: 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 Bitbucket Cloud MCP Server. Nothing to install.
bb_get_file 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 bb_get_file 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 bb_get_file. 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.
bb_get_file is provided by the Bitbucket Cloud MCP Server MCP server (or2ooo/bitbucket-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
