Get labels for a specific Confluence page.
AI agents call get_labels 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.
This tool only queries and retrieves label information from a Confluence page. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute external operations or code. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_labels' and description states 'Get labels for a specific Confluence page' — retrieves metadata about a page without modifying or deleting data.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_labels 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_labels. 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_labels is provided by the MCP Atlassian MCP server (thienntdev/mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
