POLICY

How to control Trello

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

Deny destructive operations
{
  "delete_attachment": {
    "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
{
  "remove_label": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "remove_label_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "get_attachments": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_attachments_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about Trello

Can an AI agent delete data through the Trello MCP server? +

Yes. The Trello server exposes 7 destructive tools including delete_attachment, delete_board, delete_card. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Trello? +

The Trello server has 41 write tools including remove_label, remove_label_from_card, remove_member. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Trello.

How many tools does the Trello MCP server expose? +

76 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 28 are read-only. 48 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Trello? +

Register the Trello MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Trello tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 76 Trello tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
