List tasks for a project, filtered by status. Returns an array of task objects with id, title, description, status, priority, related files, and timestamps, plus a summary count by status. Read-only. Default filter is
AI agents call task_list to retrieve information from Claude Session Continuity without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries task data with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only fetches and filters existing task information. The explicit 'Read-only' label confirms its classification as a Read operation with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_list' and description 'List tasks for a project' with explicit 'Read-only' designation. Returns task objects without modification.

List tasks for a project, filtered by status. Returns an array of task objects with id, title, description, status, priority, related files, and timestamps, plus a summary count by status. Read-only. Default filter is. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Session Continuity MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Session Continuity MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for task_list: 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 Claude Session Continuity. Nothing to install.
task_list 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 task_list 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 task_list. 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.
task_list is provided by the Claude Session Continuity MCP server (leesgit/claude-session-continuity-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
