MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Taskdog tools

Destructive · High delete_tag This tool permanently deletes data (a tag and its associations) and cannot be undone. Destructive · High delete_task This tool irreversibly deletes task data when the hard flag is set to True. Write · Medium cancel_task Cancelling a task changes its status to CANCELED, which is a reversible state modification (the task data still exists and could potentially be re-opened/un-cancelled). Write · Medium fix_actual_times This tool modifies existing task data (timestamps and duration fields) in a reversible way — it overwrites time metadata but the original values could be restored by another call.

17 of Taskdog's 26 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Taskdog

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Taskdog, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_tag": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "cancel_task": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "cancel_task_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_audit_log": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_audit_log_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Taskdog

Can an AI agent delete data through the Taskdog MCP server? +

Yes. The Taskdog server exposes 2 destructive tools including delete_tag, delete_task. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Taskdog? +

The Taskdog server has 15 write tools including cancel_task, fix_actual_times, pause_task. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Taskdog.

How many tools does the Taskdog MCP server expose? +

26 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 9 are read-only. 17 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Taskdog? +

Register the Taskdog MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Taskdog tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 26 Taskdog tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
