Create a TaskRouter Task on a Workspace. TaskRouter routes work (calls, chats, tickets) to eligible Workers based on attributes.
AI agents use create_taskrouter_task to create or update resources in Mcp Ap2 — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ap2 environment.
This tool creates a new task (work item such as a call, chat, or ticket) in a TaskRouter workspace. It is a Write operation as it creates a new record reversibly. Misuse could flood the routing system with spurious tasks, disrupting worker queues, but it does not directly execute code, delete data, or move money. Severity is medium due to potential disruption to customer service workflows.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_taskrouter_task gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_taskrouter_task:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_taskrouter_task": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_taskrouter_task_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_taskrouter_task stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a TaskRouter Task on a Workspace. TaskRouter routes work (calls, chats, tickets) to eligible Workers based on attributes. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_taskrouter_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 Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
create_taskrouter_task is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_taskrouter_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_taskrouter_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.
create_taskrouter_task is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
