What set_requirements does on FeatureBoard
AI agents use set_requirements 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 set_requirements is rated Medium
The tool creates or modifies ticket data in a local-first project board system. This is a reversible write operation—tickets can typically be edited, deleted, or reassigned later. It has medium severity because misuse could create noise or invalid tickets that require cleanup, but it doesn't delete data irreversibly or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Write a ticket', which is a create/modify operation on project management data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_requirements 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 set_requirements, this is the rule to start with:
set_requirements 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 set_requirements call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_requirements
Write a ticket. 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 set_requirements: 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.
set_requirements 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 set_requirements 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 set_requirements. 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.
set_requirements 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.
