project_tasks

Manage a persistent per-project task queue. Tasks and analyzer configs survive sync_index reset; reset clears function index, cached audits, code maps, and schema overlays. Use delete to remove a task.

Part of the Code Auditor server.

project_tasks can permanently delete data in Code Auditor, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents may call project_tasks to permanently remove or destroy resources in Code Auditor. 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 project_tasks in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Code Auditor. 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access project_tasks gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the project_tasks tool do? +

Manage a persistent per-project task queue. Tasks and analyzer configs survive sync_index reset; reset clears function index, cached audits, code maps, and schema overlays. Use delete to remove a task.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Code Auditor MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on project_tasks? +

Register the Code Auditor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_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 Code Auditor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is project_tasks? +

project_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 project_tasks? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_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 project_tasks completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for project_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 project_tasks? +

project_tasks is provided by the Code Auditor MCP server (code-auditor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Code Auditor tool call.
