FBMCPF-264/315: local retrieval over this board
This record as markdown: /tools/ai-featureboard-featureboard/rag-search.md
What rag_search does on FeatureBoard
AI agents call rag_search 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.
Why rag_search is rated Low
This tool performs retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) search over local board data, querying and fetching information without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. No side effects are described or implied. This is a standard Read category operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'retrieval over this board' and tool name 'rag_search' indicates search/retrieval operation. Context shows this is a project board system where retrieval is a core read-only operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rag_search 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 rag_search, this is the rule to start with:
rag_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FeatureBoard, apply this rule, and every rag_search call is checked against it from then on.
