Read-only. Lists action-ledger records, optionally filtered by task, agent, action, or advancement.
AI agents call list_actions to retrieve information from Agentic Task System without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a query operation that retrieves historical action records with optional filtering. The explicit 'Read-only' label and 'Lists' verb confirm no side effects. The worst-case misuse is information disclosure about actions taken in the system, which is low severity for a task management audit log.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_actions' combined with description 'Read-only. Lists action-ledger records, optionally filtered by task, agent, action, or advancement.' explicitly indicates retrieval without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read-only. Lists action-ledger records, optionally filtered by task, agent, action, or advancement. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentic Task System MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agentic Task System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_actions: 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.
list_actions 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 list_actions 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 list_actions. 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.
list_actions 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.
