Get a bird
AI agents call get_current_task to retrieve information from KeepGoing MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves data about the current task without modifying state, executing code, or causing side effects. Despite the cryptic description, the naming pattern and server purpose (persistent memory and history retrieval) strongly indicate this is a read-only query operation. Confidence is moderate due to the nonsensical description, but the categorical assignment remains clear.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_current_task' and context indicate it retrieves information (consistent with sibling tools like 'get_context_snapshot', 'get_decisions', 'get_momentum', 'get_session_history').
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a bird. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KeepGoing MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the KeepGoing MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_current_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 KeepGoing MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_current_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 get_current_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 get_current_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.
get_current_task is provided by the KeepGoing MCP Server MCP server (keepgoing-dev/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
