AI agents may call aidex_task to permanently remove or destroy resources in Aidex. 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 aidex_task in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Aidex. 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 aidex_task gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other destructive tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: deny by default, or require human approval.
Manage a single task in the project backlog. Actions: create (new task), read (get task + log), update (change fields), delete, log (add history note). Tasks persist in the AiDex database. Completed tasks are preserved as documentation.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Aidex MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Aidex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aidex_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 Aidex. Nothing to install.
aidex_task is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the aidex_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 aidex_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.
aidex_task is provided by the Aidex MCP server (aidex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
