What scheduled_tasks does on Claude C2
AI agents call scheduled_tasks to retrieve information from Claude C2 without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why scheduled_tasks is rated Low
This is a Read operation as it retrieves and displays existing scheduled task configurations. However, severity is elevated to medium rather than low because scheduled tasks information can be sensitive—it may reveal system automation, maintenance routines, and potentially security-relevant automated processes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scheduled_tasks' and description 'List scheduled tasks' indicate a query operation that retrieves information about system scheduled tasks without modifying or executing them.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs scheduled_tasks safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude C2, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For scheduled_tasks, this is the rule to start with:
scheduled_tasks is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude C2, apply this rule, and every scheduled_tasks call is checked against it from then on.

List scheduled tasks. Auto-selects client. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude C2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude C2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scheduled_tasks: 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 Claude C2. Nothing to install.
scheduled_tasks 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 scheduled_tasks 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 scheduled_tasks. 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.
scheduled_tasks is provided by the Claude C2 MCP server (0xyg3n/claude-c2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
