AI agents call get_board_items to retrieve information from Axiom-hub without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'get_board_items' and its positioning among getter functions suggests it queries and retrieves data (likely architectural decisions or constraints from a decision board) without side effects. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_board_items' implies retrieval of items from a board or dashboard. Sibling tools like 'get_decision_timeline', 'get_path_context', and 'get_project_context' are all read-only getters that retrieve state without modification.

get_board_items. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Axiom-hub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Axiom-hub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_board_items: 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 Axiom-hub. Nothing to install.
get_board_items 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_items 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_items. 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_items is provided by the Axiom-hub MCP server (varunajaytawde28-design/smm-sync). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
