WHAT IT DOES

What add_decision does on FeatureBoard

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

RISK

Why add_decision is rated Medium

This tool creates new decision records in the project board by appending data. It is a Write operation because it creates new data structures (ADRs) without permanent deletion or financial impact. Severity is medium because adding decisions could mislead project planning or create confusion if done incorrectly, but the action is reversible and localized to project documentation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_decision' and description 'Append a new ADR to a project' indicate creating/adding new decision records (ADR = Architecture Decision Record) to a project, which modifies project data reversibly.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_decision safely

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

add_decision Rate-limited

add_decision 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 FeatureBoard, apply this rule, and every add_decision call is checked against it from then on.
