## Facts

- Tool: `move_task`
- Server: VaultAssist (`3xcaffeine/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/3xcaffeine-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/3xcaffeine/mcp-server
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "move_task",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why move_task is rated Medium

Moving a task changes its organizational structure (position, parent, or list assignment) but does not delete, execute external commands, or create permanent loss of data. The operation is reversible—a task can be moved back to its original location. While it modifies data, it does not rise to Destructive (irreversible deletion), Execute (code/external triggers), or Financial severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'move_task' and description indicates it modifies task state by changing position or parent/list assignment. This is a reversible modification operation typical of Write category tools."

## Use case

AI agents use move_task to create or update resources in VaultAssist, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your VaultAssist environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches VaultAssist:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "move_task": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "move_task_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
