AI agents call scan_confluence to retrieve information from N0s1 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and scans data from Confluence for secrets but does not modify, execute code, delete, or move money. However, severity is high rather than low because the tool's purpose is to surface sensitive information (API keys, tokens, passwords), which if exfiltrated or misused by a malicious agent could pose significant risk to the organization, even though the tool itself only performs read operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scan_confluence' and description 'Read Confluence pages and comments to detect leaked secrets' explicitly use 'Read' and state the action is retrieval ('Read Confluence pages and comments') with no data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read Confluence pages and comments to detect leaked secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords). It is categorised as a Read tool in the N0s1 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the N0s1 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scan_confluence: 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 N0s1. Nothing to install.
scan_confluence 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 scan_confluence 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 scan_confluence. 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.
scan_confluence is provided by the N0s1 MCP server (spark1security/n0s1-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
