What qflow_scope_navigate does on Qflow

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

Medium Risk

Why qflow_scope_navigate needs a policy

This tool modifies the hierarchical structure and scope of tasks — promoting, demoting, and adjusting them. These are reversible structural changes to task organization, fitting the Write category. No code execution or irreversible deletion is implied. Severity is medium because misuse could disorganize project structure significantly.

From the tool's definition up=子任务提升为顶层任务, down=顶层任务降级为子任务, adjust=动态调节任务范围 (promotes subtasks to top-level, demotes top-level tasks to subtasks, dynamically adjusts task scope)

How to control qflow_scope_navigate

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

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

qflow_scope_navigate 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 Qflow — 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.
