get_queue_issues
AI agents call get_queue_issues to retrieve information from MCP Atlassian without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to retrieve issue queue data from Jira without side effects. While the description is empty (reducing confidence slightly), the consistent naming convention across the Atlassian MCP server's get_* tools and the absence of any action words (create, delete, update, execute) indicate this is a read operation with no blast radius if misused—worst case being information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_queue_issues' indicates data retrieval. No description provided, but naming pattern matches sibling tools like 'get_all_projects', 'get_agile_boards', 'get_board_issues', 'get_comments' which are all read-only queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_queue_issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Atlassian MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Atlassian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_queue_issues: 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 Atlassian. Nothing to install.
get_queue_issues 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 get_queue_issues 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 get_queue_issues. 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.
get_queue_issues is provided by the MCP Atlassian MCP server (sooperset/mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
