AI agents call get_board_cells to retrieve information from Scrumdo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static information about a board's structure (its columns). Listing or querying data is a Read operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no destructive or financial impact. Low severity because disclosure of board structure is typically low-risk within an authorized ScrumDo context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_board_cells' and description 'List the columns (cells) of a board' indicate retrieval of board structure metadata with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List the columns (cells) of a board. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scrumdo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scrumdo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_board_cells: 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 Scrumdo. Nothing to install.
get_board_cells 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_board_cells 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_board_cells. 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_board_cells is provided by the Scrumdo MCP server (scrumdollc/scrumdo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
