WHAT IT DOES

What task_list_list does on CoWork OS

AI agents call task_list_list to retrieve information from CoWork OS without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why task_list_list is rated Low

This tool queries and returns the current state of a task list/checklist without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational, retrieving session-specific checklist data including verification nudge status. The read-only nature and lack of any side effects place it squarely in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_list_list' and description 'Return the current session checklist state' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs task_list_list 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 task_list_list, this is the rule to start with:

task_list_list Allowed

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

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

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

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