List boards visible to the authenticated user. Use this to discover
AI agents call list_boards to retrieve information from Kanbantool without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data (available boards) without side effects or state changes. It is a straightforward data discovery mechanism for an authenticated user, consistent with Read category. Severity is low because board metadata disclosure poses minimal risk; the user is already authenticated and has authorized access.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List boards visible to the authenticated user' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities implied. The verb 'list' is a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List boards visible to the authenticated user. Use this to discover. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kanbantool MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kanbantool MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_boards: 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 Kanbantool. Nothing to install.
list_boards 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_boards 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_boards. 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_boards is provided by the Kanbantool MCP server (verylongorgnamesuchwow/kanbantool-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
