WHAT IT DOES

What create_sprint does on FeatureBoard

AI agents use create_sprint 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 create_sprint is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies sprint data on a project board, which is a write operation. It has no destructive capability (sprints are not deleted), does not execute code or external operations, and involves no financial transactions. The severity is medium because misuse could affect project planning and timeline visibility, but the impact is scoped to the board's sprint data and remains reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_sprint' and description states it can 'Create (or update) a named sprint' — explicitly a create and modify operation. The action is reversible (sprints can be updated or deleted later).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_sprint 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 create_sprint, this is the rule to start with:

create_sprint Rate-limited

create_sprint 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.
