snooze_task · Filevine MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What snooze_task does on Filevine

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why snooze_task needs a policy

Snoozing a task changes its scheduled state to a future date, which is a reversible modification. The task is not deleted or permanently altered; it can be unsnoozed or the date changed again. This fits the Write category. Misuse could delay critical legal tasks, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition Snooze a task until a future date — modifies the task's state (snooze/defer) reversibly by setting a future date
