What previewTaskDependencyCascade does on Stable Baseline
AI agents call previewTaskDependencyCascade to retrieve information from Stable Baseline without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
planId | string | Yes | Plan to evaluate. |
forwardOnly | boolean | — | |
pinnedItemIds | array | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs previewTaskDependencyCascade safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For previewTaskDependencyCascade, this is the rule to start with:
previewTaskDependencyCascade is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every previewTaskDependencyCascade call is checked against it from then on.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
previewTaskDependencyCascade accepts 3 parameters: planId, forwardOnly, pinnedItemIds. Required: planId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Stable Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for previewTaskDependencyCascade: 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 Stable Baseline. Nothing to install.
previewTaskDependencyCascade is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the previewTaskDependencyCascade 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.
