AI agents call list_recent_decisions 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 queries and returns decision records from a project without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. The verb 'list' is a classic read operation. No state changes, code execution, or irreversible operations are involved. Severity is low because reading project metadata poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_recent_decisions' and description 'List decisions for a project, optionally filtered by status' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

List decisions for a project, optionally filtered by status. 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 list_recent_decisions: 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.
list_recent_decisions 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 list_recent_decisions 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 list_recent_decisions. 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.
list_recent_decisions 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.
