This tool is only available for Confluence Cloud. Calling it on Server/Data Center raises ValueError because those deployments use different permission APIs.

Get Space Permissions

List all permission assignments for a Confluence space. Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`space_id`	`string`	Yes	Numeric ID of the Confluence space. This is the internal space ID, not the space key. Example: ‘98304’. You can find the space ID from the Confluence REST API (GET /wiki/api/v2/spaces) or from the space URL.
`limit`	`integer`	No	Maximum number of permission entries to return. Defaults to 25.
`cursor`	`string`	No	Optional pagination cursor from a previous response.
Example:

{"space_id": "98304", "limit": 50}
