How to control list_roles ↓

AI agents call list_roles to retrieve information from Taiga MCP Bridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves role information from the Taiga platform without making any changes. It has no side effects and fits the 'Read' category. Severity is low because listing roles is a simple data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius—it only exposes project role definitions without enabling destructive, financial, or execution-based attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_roles' indicates a retrieval operation. The description is empty, but the name strongly suggests querying/listing role data without modification.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_roles gives an agent:

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

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

list_roles 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 Taiga MCP Bridge — 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.
