Close (archive) a board. This does not permanently delete it.
AI agents call close_board to permanently remove resources in Trello MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call close_board doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Trello MCP Server is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Close (archive) a board. This does not permanently delete it. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Trello MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Trello MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for close_board: 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 Trello MCP Server. Nothing to install.
close_board is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the close_board 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 close_board. 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.
close_board is provided by the Trello MCP Server MCP server (pypi:fastmcp-trello). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
