Why confluence_create_page needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a Confluence page) that is reversible (pages can be deleted or modified later). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The blast radius is medium: a compromised agent could create numerous pages, spam workspaces, or pollute documentation, but the action is not destructive and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description: 'Create a new page in Confluence' — the verb 'Create' and the action of adding new content indicates data creation. Requires 'space ID, title, and content' as inputs, which are used to generate persistent new resources.

How to control confluence_create_page

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "confluence_create_page": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "confluence_create_page_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

confluence_create_page stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Atlassian — 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.
