Why get_priorities needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries existing priority data from the Redmine system. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of listing priorities without altering any state, creating issues, or triggering external operations clearly places this in the Read category. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only view priority information, not modify or delete anything.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_priorities' and description 'Get a priority list of all available issues' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data.

How to control get_priorities

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Redmine MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_priorities:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_priorities": {}
  }
}

get_priorities is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Redmine MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
