WHAT IT DOES

What move_card does on Trello MCP Server

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

RISK

Why move_card is rated Medium

Moving a card changes its list assignment but is fully reversible—the card can be moved back to its original list without data loss. This qualifies as Write rather than Execute (no arbitrary code runs) or Destructive (the operation is undoable).

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it "Move[s] a Trello card to a different list," which modifies card state (position/list assignment) reversibly. The server description notes "full CRUD operations" and "card movement," confirming this is a write operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs move_card safely

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

move_card Rate-limited

move_card 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Trello MCP Server, apply this rule, and every move_card call is checked against it from then on.
