What record_dispatch does on FeatureBoard
AI agents use record_dispatch 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.
Why record_dispatch is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies tracking data (recording active worker assignments) without destructive effects. It writes state to the project board but does not execute external operations, delete data, or affect financial systems. The impact is limited to ticket metadata in a local-first project board.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'record_dispatch' and description indicate it appends/records data about who is actively working a ticket. The verb 'appended as a' shows reversible data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs record_dispatch 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 record_dispatch, this is the rule to start with:
record_dispatch 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FeatureBoard, apply this rule, and every record_dispatch call is checked against it from then on.

Record who is actively working an In Progress ticket: appended as a. It is categorised as a Write tool in the FeatureBoard MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the FeatureBoard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for record_dispatch: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches FeatureBoard. Nothing to install.
record_dispatch is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the record_dispatch rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for record_dispatch. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
record_dispatch is provided by the FeatureBoard MCP server (https://github.com/valentil/featureboard-mcp/releases/download/v0.7/featureboard.plugin). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
