What google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete does on CoWork OS
AI agents use google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete to create or update resources in CoWork OS, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your CoWork OS environment.
Why google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete is rated Medium
This tool modifies the status of a task in Google Tasks by transitioning it from a completed state to 'needsAction'. This is a Write operation because it creates a reversible change to task data. Severity is medium because misuse could create confusion or rework (e.g., an agent could mark critical completed tasks as incomplete), but the effect is reversible and limited to task metadata, not destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'uncomplete' and description states 'Mark a Google Tasks task as needsAction' — this modifies task state from completed to incomplete, reversibly changing data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete, this is the rule to start with:
google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every google-workspace.tasks_uncomplete call is checked against it from then on.
