THE RISK

Why get_sprint_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries sprint status information with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only fetches and presents data. This is a classic Read category operation with low severity since misuse would only expose information, not cause damage or unintended changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sprint_status' and description 'Get a comprehensive status report for a sprint' indicate a read-only retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and 'status report' clearly denote querying/retrieving sprint data without modification.

POLICY

How to control get_sprint_status

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_sprint_status": {}
  }
}

get_sprint_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MCP JIRA Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
