Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs tasks_list safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vikunja, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For tasks_list, this is the rule to start with:

tasks_list Allowed

tasks_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "tasks_list": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Vikunja, apply this rule, and every tasks_list call is checked against it from then on.
