Low Risk

flowforge_list_tasks

List tasks as a flat array, ordered by creation time (newest first). Tasks are Kanban work items assignable to humans or agents. Use flowforge_get_task_board instead when you want tasks grouped into status columns, or flowforge_get_task for a single task.

Single-target operation

Part of the Flowforge MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call flowforge_list_tasks to retrieve information from Flowforge without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though flowforge_list_tasks only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the flowforge_list_tasks tool do? +

List tasks as a flat array, ordered by creation time (newest first). Tasks are Kanban work items assignable to humans or agents. Use flowforge_get_task_board instead when you want tasks grouped into status columns, or flowforge_get_task for a single task.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flowforge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on flowforge_list_tasks? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for flowforge_list_tasks. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Flowforge MCP server.

What risk level is flowforge_list_tasks? +

flowforge_list_tasks is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit flowforge_list_tasks? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flowforge_list_tasks rule in your Intercept 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 flowforge_list_tasks completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for flowforge_list_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.

What MCP server provides flowforge_list_tasks? +

flowforge_list_tasks is provided by the Flowforge MCP server (flowforge-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
