Get full path information for given path templates Args: path_templates: List of path templates (e.g. ['/issues.json', '/projects.json']) Returns: str: YAML string containing API specifications for the requested paths
AI agents call redmine_paths_info to retrieve information from MCP Redmine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves metadata about available API paths and their specifications in YAML format. It has no side effects, creates no data, executes no commands, and cannot delete or modify resources. It is purely informational, making it a Read operation with low severity—misuse would only expose API documentation structure rather than cause harm to actual Redmine data or systems.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'full path information' and 'API specifications' for given path templates, returning data without modifying any resources. Description indicates it 'Get[s]' information from Redmine's API paths.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access redmine_paths_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Redmine, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for redmine_paths_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"redmine_paths_info": {}
}
}redmine_paths_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get full path information for given path templates Args: path_templates: List of path templates (e.g. ['/issues.json', '/projects.json']) Returns: str: YAML string containing API specifications for the requested paths. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Redmine MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Redmine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for redmine_paths_info: 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 Redmine. Nothing to install.
redmine_paths_info 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 redmine_paths_info 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 redmine_paths_info. 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.
redmine_paths_info is provided by the MCP Redmine MCP server (runekaagaard/mcp-redmine). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
