WHAT IT DOES

What list_work_boards does on Starfield

AI agents call list_work_boards to retrieve information from Starfield without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_work_boards is rated Low

Even though list_work_boards only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_work_boards safely

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

list_work_boards Allowed

list_work_boards is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_work_boards": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

Questions about list_work_boards

What does the list_work_boards tool do? +

How do I enforce a policy on list_work_boards? +

Register the Starfield MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_work_boards: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Starfield. Nothing to install.

Can I rate-limit list_work_boards? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_work_boards rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block list_work_boards completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_work_boards. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
