Why get_task_metrics needs a policy

This tool retrieves metrics and scalars from a task without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward data query operation with no blast radius if misused—an agent could only retrieve information it may not have access to, but cannot harm the system or data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_task_metrics' and description 'Get task training metrics and scalars' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying metrics are consistent with Read category operations.

How to control get_task_metrics

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_task_metrics": {}
  }
}

get_task_metrics is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Clearml — 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.
