WHAT IT DOES

What gws_tasks_list does on AirMCP

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

RISK

Why gws_tasks_list is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves task data from Google Tasks without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is purely informational with no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome is reading tasks the user has already created.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gws_tasks_list' and description 'List tasks from Google Tasks (default task list)' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a canonical read operation.

gws_tasks_list Allowed

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