WHAT IT DOES

What add-tag does on Kanban MCP Server

AI agents use add-tag to create or update resources in Kanban MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Kanban MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why add-tag is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies task data reversibly—tags can be added and removed without permanently destroying information. This is a Write operation rather than Read (it changes state) or Destructive (tags are not irreversible deletions). Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt task organization or pollute metadata, but the effect is recoverable by removing tags.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add-tag' and description states it 'add tags to a tasks', which modifies task metadata by adding labels/tags.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add-tag safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kanban MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add-tag, this is the rule to start with:

add-tag Rate-limited

add-tag 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.
