List all accessible Agile boards (both Scrum and Kanban types). Can be filtered by project or board type to find specific boards.
AI agents call list_agile_boards to retrieve information from Mcp Atlassian 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 information about Agile boards without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no destructive or side-effect-inducing capability. Severity is low because exposure of board metadata poses minimal direct risk to an organization.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_agile_boards' and description states it 'List[s] all accessible Agile boards' with optional filtering by project or board type. The verb 'list' and the retrieval nature of the operation indicate no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the Mcp Atlassian MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_agile_boards: 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 Mcp Atlassian. Nothing to install.
list_agile_boards 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_agile_boards 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_agile_boards. 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_agile_boards is provided by the Mcp Atlassian MCP server (mcp-atlassian). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
