AI agents call list_epics 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 queries and retrieves epic data from ScrumDo without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or committing financial actions. It is a straightforward read-only operation with minimal risk if misused—an AI agent retrieving epics cannot cause harm beyond potentially exposing project structure information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_epics' and description 'List all epics in the project' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all epics in the project. 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 list_epics: 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.
list_epics 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_epics 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_epics. 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_epics 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.
