What get_active_board does on Framedeck

AI agents call get_active_board to retrieve information from Framedeck without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_active_board needs a policy

This is a simple read operation that returns the current active board context. It has no side effects, makes no changes to data, and poses minimal security risk. Even if misused by an agent, it can only expose which board is currently active—information that is already known to any user with access to the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_active_board' and description 'Show which board/production is currently set as the active context' indicate a query operation that retrieves information about the current state without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
