WHAT IT DOES

What get_task does on FeatureBoard

AI agents call get_task 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.

RISK

Why get_task is rated Low

This tool queries and returns existing task/ticket information. It performs a read-only retrieval operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute any actions. The narrow scope (single task by ID) and read-only nature place it squarely in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition 'Get the full details of a single task by its ticket ID' — retrieves task data with no modification or side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_task Allowed

get_task 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": {
    "get_task": {}
  }
}

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_task call is checked against it from then on.
