Retrieves a specific issue by key, id or external id from SpaceBridge. Define project slug only if not part of issue key.
AI agents call get_issue to retrieve information from SpaceBridge-MCP 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 issue data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects beyond data retrieval. Severity is low because reading issue metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_issue' and description states it 'Retrieves a specific issue' by key, id, or external id. The verb 'Retrieves' and lack of any modification language indicate a read-only operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_issue gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SpaceBridge-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_issue:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_issue": {}
}
}get_issue is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieves a specific issue by key, id or external id from SpaceBridge. Define project slug only if not part of issue key. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SpaceBridge-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SpaceBridge- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_issue: 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 SpaceBridge-MCP. Nothing to install.
get_issue 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_issue 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_issue. 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_issue is provided by the SpaceBridge- MCP server (spacecode-ai/spacebridge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SpaceBridge-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
