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 retrieves metadata (labels) from a Confluence page without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple read operation with minimal security risk, as labels are typically non-sensitive organizational metadata. The blast radius of misuse is low—an AI agent retrieving labels cannot cause significant harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_labels' and description 'Get labels for a specific Confluence page' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get labels for a specific Confluence page. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Atlassian MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Atlassian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_labels: 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 MCP Atlassian. Nothing to install.
get_labels 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_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 (uchinx/mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_labels is one line of MCP Atlassian's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
