Get the content of a file from a Bitbucket repository
AI agents call bitbucket_get_file to retrieve information from Sage MCP 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, or deleting data. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius—exposure would allow an AI agent to view repository contents but not alter code, trigger builds, or affect infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bitbucket_get_file' and description 'Get the content of a file from a Bitbucket repository' indicate retrieval of file content with no modification or deletion.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access bitbucket_get_file gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for bitbucket_get_file:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"bitbucket_get_file": {}
}
} bitbucket_get_file is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the content of a file from a Bitbucket repository. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sage MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bitbucket_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 Sage MCP. Nothing to install.
bitbucket_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 bitbucket_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 bitbucket_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.
bitbucket_get_file is provided by the Sage MCP server (sagemcp/sagemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
