What jira_get_comments does on Sage MCP
AI agents call jira_get_comments to retrieve information from Sage MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why jira_get_comments is rated Low
This tool retrieves comments associated with a Jira issue. It does not modify, create, delete, or execute any operations—it only queries and returns data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could read comments they might not have authorization to see, but this poses a confidentiality risk rather than integrity or availability concerns typical of higher-severity categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'jira_get_comments' and description 'Get all comments for an issue' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of fetching existing comments confirm this is a query operation.
