# applyTaskDependencyCascade

Auto-schedule every item in a plan so all FS/SS/FF task-dependencies are respected (topological pass, durations preserved). Returns the before/after diff and logs a comment on every item that moves. Use forwardOnly: true to only shift items currently in violation (never pull already-valid items earlier). Use pinnedItemIds to keep specific items at their current dates. Pairs with previewTaskDependencyCascade (same inputs, dry-run).

- Server CORS policy: https://app.stablebaseline.io
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 3 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `planId` | string | yes | Plan to reschedule. |
| `forwardOnly` | boolean | no | When true, only shift items currently in violation — never pull already-valid items to an earlier slot. Default false for backwards compat with the manual Auto- |
| `pinnedItemIds` | array | no | Item IDs to keep at their current dates (typical: the item you just updated). |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "applyTaskDependencyCascade",
    "arguments": {
      "planId": "<planId>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why applyTaskDependencyCascade is rated Medium

The tool modifies plan data by rescheduling tasks based on dependency constraints. While it changes dates across potentially many items ('cascade' effect affecting all dependent tasks), these modifications are reversible (can be undone via subsequent writes). It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code, making it Write rather than Destructive or Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool auto-schedules and modifies item dates in a plan ('Auto-schedule every item in a plan', 'Returns the before/after diff and logs a comment on every item that moves', 'shift items'). This creates reversible modifications to task scheduling data."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents use applyTaskDependencyCascade to create or update resources in Stable Baseline, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stable Baseline environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Stable Baseline:
