WHAT IT DOES

What move-task does on Kanban MCP Server

AI agents use move-task 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 move-task is rated Medium

This tool changes task metadata (status field) but does not delete, execute code, trigger financial transactions, or cause irreversible damage. The modification is reversible—tasks can be moved back to previous statuses. This is a classic Write operation: data modification without permanent loss.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'move a task to a different status', which modifies task state reversibly without deleting data or executing external operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs move-task 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 move-task, this is the rule to start with:

move-task Rate-limited

move-task 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.
