List available Confluence spaces.
AI agents call get_spaces to retrieve information from Better Confluence without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply lists/enumerates available Confluence spaces, which is a read-only query operation. It retrieves metadata about spaces but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could discover what spaces exist, but cannot act on them without additional tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_spaces' and description 'List available Confluence spaces' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List available Confluence spaces. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Better Confluence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Better Confluence MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_spaces: 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 Better Confluence. Nothing to install.
get_spaces 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_spaces 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_spaces. 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_spaces is provided by the Better Confluence MCP server (twinity1/better-confluence-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
