autonomous_task

Execute a complex multi-step regulatory task autonomously. VIGO will plan the execution strategy, gather information from multiple sources (regulations, enforcement, knowledge graph), and synthesize a comprehensive report. Use for due diligence, compliance planning, license acquisition roadmaps, ...

Part of the Vigo Mcp server.

autonomous_task can trigger actions in Vigo Mcp, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke autonomous_task to trigger processes or run actions in Vigo Mcp. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

autonomous_task can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so autonomous_task only ever does what you allow.

What does the autonomous_task tool do? +

Execute a complex multi-step regulatory task autonomously. VIGO will plan the execution strategy, gather information from multiple sources (regulations, enforcement, knowledge graph), and synthesize a comprehensive report. Use for due diligence, compliance planning, license acquisition roadmaps, or any task requiring multiple analysis steps.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Vigo Mcp MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on autonomous_task? +

Register the Vigo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for autonomous_task: 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 Vigo Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is autonomous_task? +

autonomous_task is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit autonomous_task? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for autonomous_task. 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 autonomous_task? +

autonomous_task is provided by the Vigo MCP server (https://lsoatzzwpltpydwyfqqv.supabase.co/functions/v1/vigo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
