WRITE. Adds a typed relationship from one task to another. Types express dependencies, evidence, decisions, outputs, supersession, support, or a general relation.
AI agents use add_task_link to create or update resources in Agentic Task System — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Agentic Task System environment.
This tool creates or modifies task relationship data reversibly. It establishes new typed links between tasks (dependencies, evidence, decisions, outputs, etc.) without deleting or destroying data. The action is undoable through standard task management operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'WRITE. Adds a typed relationship from one task to another.' The verb 'Adds' indicates creation/modification of a relationship record.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
WRITE. Adds a typed relationship from one task to another. Types express dependencies, evidence, decisions, outputs, supersession, support, or a general relation. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agentic Task System MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Agentic Task System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_task_link: 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 Agentic Task System. Nothing to install.
add_task_link is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_task_link 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 add_task_link. 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.
add_task_link is provided by the Agentic Task System MCP server (renezander030/agentic-task-system). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
