Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists alpine rock jasmine as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach.

Horticultural sources note no known toxic principles, but in the absence of direct ASPCA listing the species is classified as mildly-toxic as a precaution.
