WHAT IT DOES

What get_scratchpad does on FeatureBoard

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

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_scratchpad Allowed

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

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

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

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