AI agents call batch_query_task_type to retrieve information from Gemini MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a pure query and recommendation tool. It reads/analyzes optional sample content and returns informational recommendations about which embedding task type to use. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code, does not modify or delete data, and does not commit financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'batch_query_task_type' and description states it 'Helps choose optimal embedding task type with recommendations' and 'Shows all 8 task types with descriptions' and 'Provides AI recommendation based on context' and 'Returns selected task type'.

INTERACTIVE TASK TYPE SELECTOR - Helps choose optimal embedding task type with recommendations. WORKFLOW: 1) Optionally analyzes sample content, 2) Shows all 8 task types with descriptions, 3) Provides AI recommendation based on context, 4) Returns selected task type. TASK TYPES: SEMANTIC_SIMILARITY (compare text similarity), CLASSIFICATION (categorize text), CLUSTERING (group similar items), RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT (index for search), RETRIEVAL_QUERY (search queries), CODE_RETRIEVAL_QUERY (code search), QUESTION_ANSWERING (Q&A systems), FACT_VERIFICATION (check claims). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gemini MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gemini MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_query_task_type: 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 Gemini MCP Server. Nothing to install.
batch_query_task_type 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 batch_query_task_type 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 batch_query_task_type. 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.
batch_query_task_type is provided by the Gemini MCP Server MCP server (mintmcqueen/gemini-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
