build_task_packet

Build a typed task packet for a local repo or GitHub URL. Returns key files, dependency hubs, minimal context, risks, validation targets, and task-specific details.

Part of the Cartograph server.

build_task_packet can trigger actions in Cartograph, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke build_task_packet to trigger processes or run actions in Cartograph. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

build_task_packet can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so build_task_packet only ever does what you allow.

What does the build_task_packet tool do? +

Build a typed task packet for a local repo or GitHub URL. Returns key files, dependency hubs, minimal context, risks, validation targets, and task-specific details.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Cartograph MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_task_packet? +

Register the Cartograph MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_task_packet: 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 Cartograph. Nothing to install.

What risk level is build_task_packet? +

build_task_packet is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_task_packet? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_task_packet 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.

How do I block build_task_packet completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for build_task_packet. 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.

What MCP server provides build_task_packet? +

build_task_packet is provided by the Cartograph MCP server (anthony-maio/cartograph). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Cartograph tool call.
