AI agents call find_task to retrieve information from Omniplan without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to query or retrieve task data from an OmniPlan project. With no side effects or mutations indicated and a name matching standard read patterns (find, search, get), this is classified as Read. Low severity because read operations have minimal blast radius—misuse would retrieve data but not alter the project state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_task' indicates a search/lookup operation. Context from sibling tools shows this server manipulates project data; find_task logically retrieves task information without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
find_task. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Omniplan MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Omniplan MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_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 Omniplan. Nothing to install.
find_task 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 find_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 find_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.
find_task is provided by the Omniplan MCP server (johntrandall/omniplan-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
