MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Mcp Trello tools

Destructive · High delete_board Deleting a board permanently removes all associated lists, cards, checklists, and attachments without possibility of recovery (beyond Trello's trash bin with time limits). Destructive · High delete_board_list Deleting a board list is an irreversible action that removes an entire column and its contents from a Trello board. Destructive · High delete_card Deleting a card is a destructive operation that cannot be undone and permanently removes data. Destructive · High delete_checklist This tool permanently removes a checklist from a Trello card, which cannot be undone through the tool itself.

21 of Mcp Trello's 28 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Mcp Trello

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Trello, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_board": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_checklist_item": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_checklist_item_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_current_workspace": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_current_workspace_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Mcp Trello — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
