AI agents call redmine_paths_list 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 returns metadata about available Redmine API endpoints from the OpenAPI specification. It has no side effects—it only lists available paths without modifying, creating, or executing any actual operations. This is purely informational retrieval with low blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Retrieves all endpoint paths' and 'Returns: str: YAML string containing a list of path templates'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access redmine_paths_list 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_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"redmine_paths_list": {}
}
}redmine_paths_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Return a list of available API paths from OpenAPI spec Retrieves all endpoint paths defined in the Redmine OpenAPI specification. Remember that you can use the redmine_paths_info tool to get the full specfication for a path. Returns: str: YAML string containing a list of path templates (e.g. '/issues.json'). 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_list: 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_list 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_list 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_list. 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_list 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.
