What get_me does on Trello

AI agents call get_me to retrieve information from Trello without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_me needs a policy

This is a straightforward read operation that queries user account information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only learn details about the authenticated account, not access other users' data or perform actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_me' and description explicitly states 'Retrieve information about the authenticated member (current user)' with no modification or side effects.

How to control get_me

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trello, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_me:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_me": {}
  }
}

get_me is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Trello — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
