AI agents call list_spec_proposals 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 and lists existing spec proposals associated with a card. It performs a read-only query operation that returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. The capping and ordering (newest first) are presentation details of the retrieval, not side effects. No data is altered or resources are consumed beyond normal query processing.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_spec_proposals' and description 'List a card's active + recent spec proposals' indicate retrieval/query operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List a card's active + recent spec proposals (newest first, capped. 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_spec_proposals: 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_spec_proposals 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_spec_proposals 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_spec_proposals. 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_spec_proposals 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.
