## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
