AI agents may call tasks to permanently remove or destroy resources in Haptic Paper. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call tasks in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Haptic Paper. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

How do I enforce a policy on tasks? +

Register the Haptic Paper MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tasks: 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 Haptic Paper. Nothing to install.

What risk level is tasks? +

tasks is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit tasks? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tasks 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 tasks completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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 tasks? +

tasks is provided by the Haptic Paper MCP server (@hapticpaper/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Haptic Paper tool call.
