Score every initiative the active adapter exposes and return the
AI agents call rank_backlog to retrieve information from Mk Plan Master without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and ranks initiatives to provide a prioritized view of the backlog. The description is incomplete ('return the' cuts off), but the clear intent is to read/score existing initiatives without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It performs analysis on existing items and returns results—classic Read category behavior with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'rank_backlog' and description 'Score every initiative the active adapter exposes and return the' indicates querying/scoring existing initiatives without modification. The verb 'score' and 'return' suggest data retrieval and analysis.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Score every initiative the active adapter exposes and return the. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mk Plan Master MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mk Plan Master MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rank_backlog: 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 Mk Plan Master. Nothing to install.
rank_backlog is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rank_backlog 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 rank_backlog. 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.
rank_backlog is provided by the Mk Plan Master MCP server (kao273183/mk-plan-master). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
