move_card · Framedeck MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What move_card does on Framedeck

AI agents use move_card 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 move_card needs a policy

This tool changes the organization and workflow state of content cards in a production management system. While reversible (can be moved back), it alters existing data and could disrupt production workflows if misused. It's Write rather than Execute because it modifies structured data within the system rather than triggering external operations.

From the tool's definition Move a card/frame to a different stage — modifies the state/position of a card within a Kanban workflow without deleting or permanently removing it.

Verdict

move_card Rate-limited

move_card 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.
