Why autotask_router needs a policy

This tool does not itself perform any read, write, execute, destructive, or financial operation. It is a meta-tool that routes requests to the appropriate tool and suggests pre-filled parameters. It has no direct side effects on data or systems; its blast radius is minimal since it only suggests rather than executes actions.

From the tool's definition 'Intelligent tool router - describe what you want to do and get the right tool suggestion with pre-filled parameters. Use this when unsure which tool to call.'

POLICY

How to control autotask_router

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Autotask, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for autotask_router:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "autotask_router": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "autotask_router_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

autotask_router gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Autotask — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
