WHAT IT DOES

What list_sources does on FeatureBoard

AI agents call list_sources 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 list_sources is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries board data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The 'list' operation is a standard read pattern. Severity is low because listing board contents has minimal blast radius—it only exposes existing information without causing harm if queried repeatedly or inappropriately.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_sources' and description 'List a board' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

list_sources Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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 list_sources call is checked against it from then on.
