# getWhiteboard Read a whiteboard: its metadata plus a summary of the canvas (element count, element types, and text labels on the board). Pass includeElements=true to also return the full Excalidraw scene ({elements, appState, files}) — needed if you intend to modify it and send it back via updateWhiteboardScene. FOR BEST RESULTS, also call getWhiteboardImage to render the board to an image and actually SEE it: the visual layout (positions, spacing, overlaps, colours, how shapes connect) is far easier to understand from the rendered picture than from the element list, so view it first to truly understand the board and to propose or verify edits accurately.

HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/getwhiteboard ## Facts - Tool: `getWhiteboard` - Server: Stable Baseline (`https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb.md - Homepage: https://github.com/stablebaseline/mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: https://app.stablebaseline.io - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 2 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `documentId` | string | yes | | | `includeElements` | boolean | no | When true, returns the full Excalidraw scene so it can be modified and written back. | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "getWhiteboard", "arguments": { "documentId": "" } } } ``` ## Why getWhiteboard is rated Low This tool retrieves and queries whiteboard data (metadata, canvas summary, visual elements). It has no parameters that trigger mutations, deletions, or external actions. The mention of 'includeElements=true' for potential later modification does not make this tool itself Write or Execute—it merely returns data in a format suitable for downstream modifications. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'getWhiteboard' and description states 'Read a whiteboard: its metadata plus a summary of the canvas' and 'return the full Excalidraw scene'. The verbs are read, return, and view—all retrieval operations with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call getWhiteboard to retrieve information from Stable Baseline without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Stable Baseline: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "getWhiteboard": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Stable Baseline (195) - `cancelAllKgInScope` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/cancelallkginscope.md - `cancelKgBuildBatch` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/cancelkgbuildbatch.md - `deleteDiagramInDocument` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletediagramindocument.md - `deleteDocument` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletedocument.md - `deleteFolder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletefolder.md - `deleteImageInDocument` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteimageindocument.md - `deleteImprovement` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteimprovement.md - `deleteImprovementCategory` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteimprovementcategory.md - `deleteImprovementComment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteimprovementcomment.md - `deletePlan` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteplan.md - `deletePlanComment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteplancomment.md - `deletePlanPhase` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteplanphase.md - `deleteResourcePermission` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteresourcepermission.md - `deleteTaskDependency` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletetaskdependency.md - `deleteTeam` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deleteteam.md - `deleteVegaDataFile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletevegadatafile.md - `deleteWhiteboard` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/deletewhiteboard.md - `removeMember` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/removemember.md - `removeTeamMember` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/removeteammember.md - `removeWorkspaceMember` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/removeworkspacemember.md - `resetDocumentInBrain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/resetdocumentinbrain.md - `revokeTeamWorkspaceAccess` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/revoketeamworkspaceaccess.md - `autoDesignWhiteboard` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/autodesignwhiteboard.md - `renderDiagram` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/renderdiagram.md - `startMeetingScribe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/startmeetingscribe.md - `stopMeetingScribe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/stopmeetingscribe.md - `triggerKgRebuild` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/triggerkgrebuild.md - `applySubscriptionChange` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/applysubscriptionchange.md - `cancelSubscription` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/cancelsubscription.md - `getCustomerPortalLink` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb/getcustomerportallink.md - …and 165 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-stablebaseline-sb.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
