AI agents use select_board to create or modify resources in Elixium Ai. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call select_board repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Elixium Ai.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access select_board gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Switch the active board context. All subsequent tool calls (list_stories, create_story, list_epics, etc.) will operate against the selected board. Overrides ELIXIUM_BOARD_SLUG env var for this session.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Elixium Ai MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Elixium Ai MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for select_board: 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 Elixium Ai. Nothing to install.
select_board 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 select_board 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 select_board. 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.
select_board is provided by the Elixium Ai MCP server (@elixium.ai/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
