What approve_request_completion does on Mcp Taskmanager

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

Medium Risk

Why approve_request_completion needs a policy

The tool creates or modifies data (marking a request as finalized/completed) in a reversible manner. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial). While it represents a significant workflow state change, it remains a Write operation as the state can theoretically be reverted or the record remains in the system with updated metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'finalizes the entire request' and requires user confirmation of completion. This modifies the state of a request record from active to completed, which is a reversible state change rather than deletion.

How to control approve_request_completion

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "approve_request_completion": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "approve_request_completion_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

approve_request_completion stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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