List comments on a Confluence page, expanded with body.view, version, created/updated history.
AI agents call confluence_get_comments to retrieve information from Jira MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only fetches and displays existing data from a Confluence page—comments and their associated metadata. There is no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of code/commands. It presents no financial implications. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: worst case, an agent could retrieve sensitive information already stored in Confluence, but cannot alter or delete it.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves comments on a Confluence page with metadata (body.view, version, created/updated history). The verb 'get' and action 'list' indicate read-only data retrieval with no mutation or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List comments on a Confluence page, expanded with body.view, version, created/updated history. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jira MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Jira MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for confluence_get_comments: 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 Jira MCP Server. Nothing to install.
confluence_get_comments 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 confluence_get_comments 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 confluence_get_comments. 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.
confluence_get_comments is provided by the Jira MCP Server MCP server (rui-branco/jira-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
