Open a specific task by ID in the agent task management view (shows details, applicants, and submissions).
AI agents call em_open_task to retrieve information from Execution Market without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and displays information about a task including its details, applicants, and submissions. It is a read/view operation with no side effects on data or financial state.

Register the Execution Market MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for em_open_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 Execution Market. Nothing to install.
em_open_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 em_open_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 em_open_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.
em_open_task is provided by the Execution Market MCP server (https://mcp.execution.market/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
