AI agents call get_architecture_map to retrieve information from RoadBoard without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a straightforward data retrieval operation. It fetches and returns the current architecture graph structure for a project. There are no mutations, code execution, destructive operations, or financial implications. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view architectural information that it may already have access to within its project context.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the architecture graph' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries and returns existing project state (nodes and edges) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the architecture graph for a project: all current nodes (apps, packages, modules) and edges (depends_on, imports, etc.). It is categorised as a Read tool in the RoadBoard MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RoadBoard MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_architecture_map: 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 RoadBoard. Nothing to install.
get_architecture_map 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 get_architecture_map 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 get_architecture_map. 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.
get_architecture_map is provided by the RoadBoard MCP server (maless88/roadboard). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_architecture_map is one line of RoadBoard's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
