WHAT IT DOES

What create_board does on Framedeck

AI agents use create_board to create or update resources in Framedeck — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Framedeck environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_board needs a policy

This tool creates a new board/project, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, destroy data, move money, or perform read-only queries. The blast radius of misuse is limited—an attacker could create unwanted boards, but existing data remains intact and the action is undoable (boards can typically be deleted or archived).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_board' and description 'Create a new project/board in Framedeck' indicate creation of a new data entity.

create_board Rate-limited

create_board 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.
